volk gt7 ?'s

[89MkIII]

Alright, I just bought these wheels on ebay. I'd like to paint the spokes a gloss black.
1. Can I easily remove the spokes for painting?
2. Am I going to run into any painting issues w/ rims?

thanks-

Post a pic.
If all else fails, you can mask off the lip and paint the spokes.

Yes,:icon_razz you can take them apart, they are a multi-piece rim. I would try to find the torque specs, that Volk uses on the allen screws, before you take them apart. They are expensive rims, that are definately worth taking the time to do things right. I would strip all the old paint off the spokes too, before I had them re-shot.
And, oh yeah...those are pretty sweet!:love: What sizes are they, and offsets?

Yeah, being Volk/Rays wheels, they definitely will come apart. I would do exactly as breezin' said.

18x9 and the rears are 18x10, has a 2.5 inch lip. The offset is +43 on the fronts and +44 on the rears.
