Hi Keith,
I have a great tire machine that has yet to fail me. I would be willing to give your wheels a go if you like. Call me -Jason, 503-516-7747

Hey J, I got the wheels off, with a trailer hitch mounted No-mar tire changer I got (I use it for my cycle wheels as well). What changer do you have?

It is a Hunter ( I think) professional unit with all the attachments for doing run-flats and other challenging tires with hard sidewalls. It makes it easy to mount/dismount anything even motorcycle tires. When you are ready to put some rubber on those wheels let me know and I can put them on for you if you like. I have seen you driving your Doka with the blue Porsche wheels, very nice! -j

So this is definitely a bump from the past, but I am curious about these wheels. They look great and seem readily available. However I am wondering about their strength?

Are they strong enough to run as a standard wheel? Are the speed warnings only for the original tire itself?

Loogy any insight?
