Default Wheel Fix

I have sepang wheels and I have replaced the trim rings. My wheels have "cap screws" holding the wheel together which requires a hex type key to remove. All the screws were put in with thread lock. My instructions were to take a heat gun and heat up each screw to melt the lock tight and all the screws came out no problem. They were only torqued to about 40in lbs. I hope that helps you.
