It's a piece of cake to DIY.

Mark the rims/centre to ensure you rebuild them in the same orientation if you want to retain the original balance.

There will sometimes be a gasket or gaskets between the centre and teh rims, so try not to damage that as you separate the wheels, but airtight seal is acheived by simple means of a smear or bead (it varies according to wheel construction, but will be obvious as you dismantle them) of common-or-garden silicone sealant.

I used high modulous bathroom sealant on my BBS RS, no problems.

Not hard to do but does take ages to split a set of wheels.

Use a tourque wrench to bolt them back up, find out the correct settings.
