KMC wheels with removable rings?

[Daniel Worm]

Does anyone know if the simulated "beadlock" rings on the below KMC wheels are removable and therefore customizable? The manufacturers don't do a very good job of stating this, so that's why I'm asking.

For example: Summit sells these KMC RG2's with an orange ring, but doesn't state anything about where or if you can get different colors https://www.summitracing.com/parts/kmc-13279063712n

I'm also interested in the KMC Mesa https://www.summitracing.com/parts/kmc-54478563700

RG2 is an optional add on ring. Mesa is not. The RG2 comes like the pic below. The ring plus longer bolts are needed. It only comes orange. I have everything available if you need a quote.

Thank you for the information! Orange seems like a strange color to have as the only option, but maybe that's just me. Also, if I understand it correctly, the add-on orange ring would mount on top of that existing simulated ring, meaning it sticks out slightly farther?

I don't understand the orange either. Being removable they're at lease easy to paint. The do just mount on top of the existing flange with the longer bolts. They are made of plastic and relatively thin though so they do not stick out too much.

Additional question on the Mesa: Are the bolts removable to where you could potentially add a custom ring with longer bolts like on the RG2?

The bolts are removable. Can't say it's not possible but might not be worth the cost of trying to figure it out. KMC says the RG2 ring does not fit and they use different bolts between the two wheels.
