What wheels are you trying to install?
If you are trying to install HPI Wheels on HPI rims, I stuck the rim in the freezer for a couple minutes and boiled the wheel for a minute and was able to get them to pop on. I have also done this same procedure with ABS wheels. Try not to boil the wheel for much more then that. It could permanetly distort them and oh, boiling water will burn you so wear protective gloves.
