Well recently bought a set of racing hart c2's and put on my lexus. See below for pics. Anyways its time for tires and im bored with them so i figured id paint them or something. These wheels are on my daily and im tring not to spend much money as i have a supra im buliding that is draining my bank accountso here is some of my thoughts and questions.

This is my first set of 3 piece wheels so be easy on me please. Wheels are racing hart c2's

Once i remove the bolts how hard will they be to seperate and what would be a proper method of this?

What kind of sealant should i use to reseal them and what is the best way to do so without making a mess?

Is there a proper torque sequence when bolting them back togather?

What would be a good foot lb to torque the bolts down at when putting these back togather?

Lastly im thinking of painting these because powder coating requires baking and my center caps have a plastic insert where it screws onto the wheel that i feal would melt when being baked at 400 degrees or so any insight on this?

in regards to reassembly/torque, you still want to go in a star pattern.
first install all the bolts finger tight in a star pattern, then torque them in that same
star pattern. as for a torque specification, you can either try to contact a wheel service company to see what they recommend or try contacting someone at racing hart.

also, ask those 2 which sealant to use.

try broadening your search to google and not just zilvia.
