   Im sure theres some1 out there who knows how to do it so any advice would be greaty recived..
   
   White alloys....thinking of getting my vts alloys sprayed white, any1 know if there hard to keep clean or if they fade overtime with breakdust..

   All you have to do is give it a pull. That's all I did with mine.

   I had to twist mine off like mad! And then, using a small kitchen knife, I had to cut off the black rubber bit to allow my new gearknob to fit properly.

    Spray some WD-40 under-neath it, then pull and twist like mad!
