Default Tornado Rims - Can Rivets Be Removed?

Have black tornado rims... Wanna dip them for a change of look for a few months. Does anyone know if you can remove the bolts/rivets?

Haven't tried it myself yet, curious if there was a Jaguar manual or part description that confirmed it without me running one of the bolts.

Assuming they are the same kind of bolts I have on my Kalimnos, they are indeed removable. I had the wheels of my XKR painted gloss black a few days ago, and we removed all 60 torx bolts. They can be removed with a torx bit or an allen wrench.

I wonder if they are just for looks or if they are two piece rims...
