so i'm picking up a set of oni's in good shape, and pretty good sizes too. the faces and lips are in great shape, but the rivets are rusted. what can i do to fix this? am i able to replace the rivets? or somehow restore them? this will be my frist set of non-stock wheels, so i havent had to deal with this before. i searched but didnt come up with much. any help is appreciated. i figured zilvians would know since you are the baller rim experts lol :coold:

if they are a three piece rim you can probably replace the bolts probably able to get them through ARP as I know that CCW race wheels use ARP hardware (or at least did a few years ago)
