I folks. I wasn't quite sure which subforum to put this in but here goes.

I have Black Rhino Imperial wheels and I'm considering painting the fakelock rivets. I'd like to take them out in order to do this but they have a head shape I've never seen before. I was considering calling black rhino to see if they have a tool to remove them but I thought I'd try my luck here first.

Does anyone know what type of bit would remove this?

Thanks.

Here it is. Almost like a security torx but five sided and more rounded.

Looks like you should be able to use an alan wrench on the inside bolt.

That's an optical illusion. The center part actually comes outward to a semi-sharp point like a cone.

They may just be show and not able to be removed

I'm voting for those being fake. Have molded lots of "ornaments" for wheels over the years. Some of those are press-fit, some may have adhesives on them also. If you turn them out, you're going to have to glue/epoxy them back in.

You guys are probably right now that i look at it again.

Well I'm going to go with a workaround then. Got some antique gold plastidip, I can spray them and then peel off the residual on the lip of the wheel.

Sounds like a plan!

May be too late now, but, are they actually metal? I ask because I have Raceline Raptors on my Ranger, with decorations similar. Mine are plastic of some sort, and can be pryed off, being careful, ofcourse. In fact, I lost one when I first got them installed. The dealer got me a couple replacements, then I used RTV to "glue" it back in.
Just a thought.
