why would you want to? imo the rims are nasty, i used to have them. if you do decide to do it, have fun. with all those grooves, i wouldn't be suprised if one wheel took just as much time to do a whole set of irocs.

strip the rims down and do them the same as any other rim. if you search, you will find plenty of info on doing this. there's even a tech article on the thirdgen.org main page. you would need some smaller tools to get in all the little grooves though
