Hey mate,

Sorry to bug. I've just been up to my local tyre mob to see about new tyres for the rear and they told me these things have to go to the bin for them to change, Is this correct? if not could you give me a little more info?

Cheers, Mick.

Hi Mick,

Depending on the wheel this may be the case. If the wheels are 'reverse mount' type which most polished lip alloys are, then it shouldn't be a problem. If they are 'normal mount' wheels they may not be able to change the tyre without damaging the rimskins. I have heard of tyre fitters being able to change tyres with them still on the rims, but since each rim is different in design and size (marginally) it is really up to the fitter, the equipment and the tyre mounting style which will determine if they must come off. Regardless, I would ask the fitter to see if he can reverse mount the tyre first, if not have a go at mounting the tyre in the normal fashion and if they come off they come off.

FYI - reverse mount means that the rim is placed face down on the machine and the tyre is mounted over the inner rim. Normal mounting is when the rim is placed on the machine face up and the tyre is mounted over the outer rim.

They won't work on the Choppers

Because of the raised edges around the rim edge they aren't suitable...

Will these suit WH Grange wheels? And how far off will the silver rimskins be from a shadow chrome wheel?

No They won't because the lip is varied.
