Aren't these 3 piece wheels? Be very careful. Remember you
need an air tight seal. I had my wheels chromed and the Bozos
didn't know what they were doing. Slow air leaks were a PITA.
I ended up taking the rims to a competent wheel repair shop.
They told me that there was not only a torqueing sequence, but
some sort of sealer (silicone?) that had to be applied. Now,
no leaks.
