Default need help taking apart 3 piece rims!!

i have a set of OZ racing 3 piece rims that i'm trying to restore, problem is i dont know what to use to take the individual bolts out. Any ideas on what size sockets or even what tool to use? I'm pretty sure that these bolts are the same size as other 3 piece rims. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1362492 this should give you guys an idea of how the bolts look like. (a couple of pictures down)

Those look like the same bolts used on BBS RM and BBS RS wheels.

First off, are you sure they are multi-piece wheels? Some wheel manufacturers "mock" the multi-piece design and use PLASTIC bolts that are chromed, and look very much like the bolts in the picture (also used by BBS)..
If they are indeed true bolts, then I think it is 8mm 12pt.. I'll have to doublecheck on mine (BBS) but I think that is correct.

thanks for that info, but yes i'm sure they are real metal and not plastic. I can finally get started on taking it apart.

I doublechecked.. they are indeed 8mm 12points..
Don't chince with a cheap *** kmart socket.. use quality tools.. else you could be creating alot of unnecessary extra labor
