Default need help with rims

ok here is the deal. im getting my l-sportline rims fixed cuz the lip is dented and the other lip is curbed. so i got a quote to get it fix for $150 for both rims. but they dont re-crome so i called this other shop and they said that they can do the rims for $400 a rim. i dont want to pay that much so i am planning on taking it apart since it is a 3peice. the problem is that i dont know the torque specs on the rivets to put it back on and i cant find a website for these rims cuz it is discontinued. idk if the company stopped or just stopped making the rims. so could someone please help me out here. thanx

here is a pic of the rims

Short of getting the torque specs from the LSportline....you might just want to take a torque wrench....and begin tightening a rivet....start at low setting....and increase by +5 ft/lbs.....if the rivet does NOT move and the torque wrench "clicks"....continue on with +5 ft/lbs....until the rivet moves a bit....that should give an idea of the torque spec for the rivets. I suggest doing this a few time...randomly select a rivet.

Good luck.

Pete
