Deep Dish Gold Split Rims
Working Lights

So not from the drift side of RC, this was totally new to me. Opening the tyres up, well not exactly rubber, but rock hard plastic.... How was I getting these on the rims..... So quick you tube check and wham !! Boil them.

So out with the Mrs pan, boiled the water up dropped the tyres in for approx 1 minute..... then ouch !! these are hot, so back into the draw, get the Mrs prongs out and perfect. I grabbed the tyres from the pan, placed them on the Mrs tea towel, then on to the rim, quick push and they went on treat.

You drift guys may use a better way, but being my first time with these tyre rocks, it worked a great......

Pics coming....
