I fell in love with that car the moment I saw it for the first time at the MoA parking ramp before we got booted.

you put the rim on the tire machine wrong. the bottom clamping arms go on the inside of the rim, not the outside

wow you are a terrible tire changer lol. he did it exactly right. that tire changer can go either way, but the way he did it is for fancyer rims so you dont put big divits in the rims from the clamps, at my work we actually have little plactic things that clip on the keep the rims from having any problems at all. oh dave.. lol you have to learn to hold in stuff that you have no idea about.

well it really depends on the rims, the really deep lip with 0 or negative offset where the deepest grove for mounting tires is closer to the inside of the rim i flip it face down and grab from the outside otherwise mounting the tires are way harder, ive had to do this to some wheels shrep(R.I.P.) had a while ago, those were interesting, but most of the time i dont wanna damage the inside of the rims, so i clamp from the outside which holds better than some of the other machines that only go from inside with rubber pads that tend to slip when you are taking tires off with an iron, and the keizer rims recommend you use a tire machine that clamps the hub and the outside of the rims so you dont bend them, which ive seen happen, and its not a cheap mistake either

yea ive had to mount the tires from the back before also, not very often though
