This is a custom set of rims, designed and produced by Criminial Customs in Chicago Ill. At 5k each, they wanted only the best tire changer to handle these custom made black nickel rims. Black nickel is a soft finish, comparable to a painted finish - so a scratch proof tire changer is essential to keeping these babies PERFECT for the customer.

Watch Steve as he mounts the first tire ( Metzler 280 ) on the rear wheel using a No-Mar Jr. Pro model. Note his use of the tire paste to lube the rim and the tire in SPECIFIC places. This ensures an easy mount on even the toughest of tires.
Use of the YellowThing is also shown, keeping the tire from rotating or popping out while you push the sidewall into the drop center of the rim.
