Re-using ZX-5 Rims

[KyoshoK]

Hi

i usually do the boiling tires in water method to remove the tires. dont like ussing accetone.

anyone know if boiling the tires, the zx-5 rims will warp?

[bigred5765]

cant see it warping them, but im sure it will temper them in some way

I confess I have never managed to boil a tyre off- for me it just doesn't work. Acetone forever!

[andreasH]

use acetone works fine.

[KyoshoK]

did boiling today... after about 45minutes, it pretty much peeled straight off. rims dont warp.

with your acetone, how long u leave them in there for?

[jim76]

should ease off after 24 hours if submerged fully. depends how much glue was on there. better to leave for 48+ hours if poss. and if there is some residue left on the rims once you have taken the tyres off then just put the wheels back in by themselves for a few hours.

You coul also try baking them in the oven, be warned though, it can smell pretty much after doing it :D
110-125 C is enough, for about 15 minutes.

The quickest & easiest method has to be the oven method. See my step-by-step insturctions here:
