Actually, I would have done that, but I just couldn't get the two halves apart. Tire Rack told me its was extremely difficult for them to do also when they rebuild them and suggested I just leave them. Not saying its ideal at all, and I wouldn't do it for a paying customer (they have to disassemble and reassemble if they want them coated), but they have held up fine for 3 years now.
