stupid simple question

So I took my rims to a powder coating shop, and the shop owner said he had to remove the little screw around the rims cause it'd melt, but he said it's really easy to get those little screws, I was just wondering what r those screw called?? Is it some special screws or idk.....also what r the screw sticking out the front rotor called?? thank you

are you referring to the wheels rivets? These are usually made of SS and should not melt. And the screw sticking out the front rotor needs to be removed for aftermarket wheels...its just a safety measure from the factory to prevent the rear wheels being mounted on the front hubs.
