If anyone's near Buckingham, Milton Keynes way, I'd happily fit them for you. I'm at Just Tyres in Buckingham.

thats handy to know as i've got some tyres that need fitting to some rims that i've been meaning to do for the project, seeing as i can no longer do them myself at the place i last worked at Woburn.

Yeah bring them down and I'll do them for you! Be a returned favour for you helping me with the Mini!

supose now that will mean i'll have to crack on with stripping and re-paiting the last 2 then lol

Try turning the wheel over and doing it

my 6x10 cosmics are reverse fit so maybe the Revos are if they "old style"

it would be possible to fit tires to those wheels but verry hard. i have done before on some wheel symeler

i see what you mean the one you can fit them to has a bigger recess for the beed of the tire to stretch into as it is pulled round.

with the other style of rim you need a verry good machine with the air powerd arms and rollers to help push the beed up into the smaller gap

it dose help to have cheaper tires with thiner stretchyer side walls

or alot of people with tire leavers and rick of damageing the rim / tire

been to a tyre fitting place witha leaver less machine with rollers and rams and still no joy!!

As I said earlier in the thread, the wheels are clearly not fit for intended purpose and any decent solicitor will get you your money back. It is completely unreasonable to sell wheels that cant have replacement tyres fitted at any garage anywhere in the country.
