the guy who runs autorestore dropped these in to work today just to have them stripped so he can re-furb or re-paint them or something, i dont know.

in this one they are next to a 175/70r14 from a nissan of some sort. just so you can get an idea of the size!

they're like fecking rubber bands!!! and they're falkens

getting them clamped on the machine was bloody tricky!

once the beads are lubed, the head is bought into place. that is always a real arse clenching moment!!!:not:

then the lever goes in. thats when you begin to stain your pants! if it slips then thats a nasty dink in an expensive wheel!!

it took three of us to push the rest of the tyre down far enough to get the bead over the head!

but once its over, thats pretty much the battle won!

then the second bead comes up easy,

then there you go!!!, easy!!!

This tyre de-mounting was done on the brilliant corghi ac2025 with all the singing and dancing attatchments!!! and i must confess, i only helped with the removal. it was actually T4mark who took them off. as you can see, he got a little too excited!!!!!!!!!!:p

Lol.. you wait until I see him tomorrow ;)

Good old Corghi's eh. Who would believe the Italians could be something with mechanicals and electrics in one thing that actually works!! :innocent:

What the hell were they off anyway? They're massive, and very multi-spoked :blink:

[Crazy_C]

Mmmmmm, tasty wheels :) Would love a set like that on Katt :D

[Ang]

Love the wheels :D That stain :whip:

[stealthtuning]

Success!!! i managed to log in!!!:D Right then, they are off of a new beetle cabrio. the car is the same colour as the spokes, its been completely smoothed off and slammed right domn. Looks fecking awesome. very tastefully done! almost looks like a lowrider!

[Crazy_C]

Nice!! Sounds like a euro-lowrider then if it's slammed on Daytona's and done up like that. Try n get some photos of them back on the bug :)

[stealthtuning]

yeah no worries. ill speak to the bloke when he comes in to have them fitted up again. to be honest im not sure he uses it much as ive only seen it a few times over the last couple of years.:search:
