sorry to bring this up from the dead, but my new wheels should be here soon and I want to paint the faces. They are 2 piece.
I've read once you take off the bolts you cant use the same ones again, is there any truth to this?
Since its a 2 piece wheel will I have to worry about sealing them once I put the faces back one?
Seems most say torque specs should be from 45-50lbs each bolt.
AND lastly, should I follow some sort of sequence when putting the bolts back in.
thanks guys..

MC3 Wheels (a vendor here) I bought my polished from. I think they're in Florida too. $1/bolt, they recommended reusing the nuts but they sell them too. Work original bolts were $4/bolt... I had 44 per wheel... Haha couldn't get myself to spend that much to original materials.

If done correctly it will not affect it. From what I heard, there is a specific temperature and time to cure the powdercoat. By going to a professional, it will be done right unlike idiots that leave the wheels in the oven for 30 min on 450 degrees.

reuse you old bolts. there's 44 bolts holding them together and you'll only have a problem if all 44 fail. the torque doesn't matter, as long as their all tight you'll be ok. how do I know? I sit there and watch them put these wheels together and all they do it impact all the bolts/nuts on.

Where was this thread 24 hours ago
I should of left the seals together damn...
The wheels we were talking about last year have been long gone, I am now working on rebuild a set of three piece and damn it I knew my seals looked good. However it was my first time doing 3piece so I cut them and now have to spend money having someone reseal them, runout, etc
