Another trick is, to use much tyre soap, pull the wheel real hard(!), so one side of the tyre rest's in it's bead (valve side), then carefully push in the other direction so the other side of the tyre nears the other bead... Then remove the inner part of the valve (=more air flow) and inflate it... It shoulkd pop right onto the bead.

Hope you understand what I'm on about *happy*

Cheers,
Jan

just had my first "starting gas tire mounting experience" unbelivable cool!
Was nervous as hell, the first try outs only resulting in a small fire on top of the tire, trick is to spray inside the tire then it goes pop!

have 3 more tires that i will do at the fitter, he was eager too see *wink* will have a vid up tonight

cheers for all the tricks gents!

They do look great on the car.

It seems they are all made in China (the new Rising Sun) and look a lot like the ones made by Wuyi Jiaxin Wheel Co.

I'd order them direct, but I can't really use 200 of them!

Googled "Aluminum Alloy A356 T6" (AWD mokes link had that info)

http://www.sfsa.org/tutorials/eng_block/GMBlock_11c.htm

Well if they really are made of this material, i guess they will hold up *wink*

" Alloy A356 is a 7Si-0.3 Mg alloy with 0.2 Fe (max) and 0.10 Zn (max). The T6 heat treatment is a solution-anneal heat treat followed by a 320F aging.

Alloy A356 has greater elongation, higher strength and considerably higher ductility than Alloy 356.

A356 has improved mechanical properties because of lower iron content, compared to 356.

Typical applications are airframe castings, machine parts, truck chassis parts, aircraft and missile components, and structural parts requiring high strength"
