Hi guys, I bought some winter tires for the e70. They came with 18 inch MODA wheels which have a stainless/chrome ring on the lip. I wonder if these can/should be removed before dismounting the tires. The rings have like 8 little hex bolts it seems to hold them on. Just wondering how tough this would be?

The Moda wheels will be for sale once I get tires off as I have another set of 18s more appropriate for the e70.
