hey guys. i will soon be painting my aftermarket rims. right now i have my stock rims back on. i was wondering if i would be able to remove the tires by myself to make painting easier. the tires are basically bald so i was planning on deflating each tire and maybe start hacking away at it with an axe or something.
is this a good idea? anyone else done it? i know i can get it done at a shop but if its easy doing it myself i can save like 20 bux. |

If you hack your old tires off yourself, how do you plan on getting your new tires on once your rims are painted? if you're gonna go somewhere to have the tires mounted and balanced properly (which you REALLY should) you might as well see if they'll dismount the old tires for you as well. Even if you have to pay 20 bucks, isn't your time and safety worth it?
