Its so easy just needs two people, one on the hair spary and compresser(and fire extiguisher) AND some one on the matches and tyer vales standy by!.. The 1st wheel did each side seperatly, but the 2nd did it in one go, id like to say it was teh practise, but I think it was look(and more hair spray) ben LOL! Let me get this on the record for posteriors, er, posterity. You ignite the hairspray inside the wheel to seat the beads with the resulting explosive force. Gotta do a You Tube of that next time, I'm praying out loud. Puhleeze! Those crazies in iceland, russia, sweden, alaska have been using this method on their stpuidly low psi snow tyres for years. I gotta give it a go one day.

Here's a similar method on YouTube:
I think I would have had something soft on the ground for the wheel to land on just in case but ........
This one is kind of funny:

Fantastic! Can't wait to see the rims on the car, they'll look awesome! Can't find a link, but Dez did a video of him putting stretched rubber on his rims using this method.

I duno what all the fuss is about on youtube about the wheel jumping etc. All that happens is theres a big flame, the tyre pops out, then theres lots of sucking noise as the oxygen is burned away so you gotta get an airline on there quick to fill it up as if not it could suck the tyre back off the bead.
Its a damn sight quieter than the pop when you fit normal sized tyres with an air line and they go onto the bead.
Best to use matches too duno why you'd try a cig lighter lol.
Will stick em on today so you can see what they'll look like. Gota get bolts then.

Top grammar tips! Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

The guys at the tyre shop where I bought them fitted them onto the rims. If not tyre levers are your friend.

I put some 165/65's onto some 7 x 13 rims myself just using plenty of washing up liquid and standing on the tyres using my heals to force them on. I've only managed to "explode" 2 tyres on properly as the other 2 just aren't co-operating. ;D No pics as I've yet to re-furb my wheels.
