Since I live in a freezing climate I don't think it would be smart to trap water between the two wheel parts. And painting them will paint over the screw heads and I don't even do that at home with light switches.

As of now my plan is to disassemble the wheels. I'll start with two of them and re-evaluate.

With the tires still mounted. I will Remove the wheel bolts, separate the centers and use wet dry sandpaper to clean up the corrosion on the rims, leaving the centers as is - I can live with their condition

At the end I will either paint them or simply clear coat them. Does anyone know if they were painted from the factory?

recommend you contact BBS to see if the bolts & nuts are reuseable &/or obtainable, & torque spec.
