Default Tornado wheels question

Are Tornados split rims or are the bolts styling?

I asked because as a long time sailor I know only too well the problems caused by dissimilar metals. Especially alloy and stainless.
So I'm thinking of unscrewing them if possible and coating with Duralec Paste

honestly you're probably right I'll take your word for it but at the same time I don't think that would be necessary I haven't been around long but I don't know how common of an issue that is on these wheels. None the less it would be an interesting project

Those "screws" may be entirely fake, and if so when you attempt to undo one it will break.
My Coventry Whitley wheels have very similar "screws" and they are fake.
