Just taken delivery of a set of Volk RE30's, and on the inside of the rim there is a 'warning' sticker that says:

Caution - This is a reverse mount wheel. Please mount/remove tire from the back of the wheel with the front of the wheel facing downwards.

This is not something i have come across before.

Will my regular tyre place have the ability to fit rubber to these, or is special equipment needed?

Last thing i want to do is damge the wheel in any way!

 

Same equipement they just put the wheel on the equipement upside down I do this on my wheels but only incase I scratch the wheels when fitting tyres, it means scratches on the back rather than front.
They probably have other reasons than this but that'd be a science thing

 

many thanks for the reply dexster!

 

Might be worth ensuring that they don't mark your rims on the front with the clamping gear...

A few rags may be useful ?

dunx

 

i had this on a set of 18in wheels on a honda before, local tyre place was able to do it no problems. quite popular on jap wheels i belive...

 

yh a delayed pm

 

very carefully when your go to put tyres, if you have possibility to your you should be present, I have a few ce28n and have received some blow when I changed my tyres,they are different wheels,i think that they are more delicate and very,very expensive...
