Hi, I have split rims as well and am considering taking them apart over the winter to refurb. Is there a specific way of tightening down the connecting bolts to the wheel centre so that the rim runs true to the wheel centre?

yes but i had to miss a silly woman driver and scraped two of the wheels against the kerb so thats when i decided to revamp all 4 wheels and just crank them up a notch

This will be interesting to see, I still want the wheels as they are lol

Really dont think you should spray the spokes :(
