OMFG!!!

This is a HORRIBLE method, yeah sure the tires came off easily.

The wheels are ruined. I let the wheels cool down and even now 6 hours later the wheels are incredibly softened. I fear to even run these wheels they are so plyable (sp?) now!

Has anyone actually done this with good results for the wheels?

I am kicking my self for trying to save a few bucks when I should of just got a whole new wheel/tire combo...

Did you boil them or put them in the oven ? I boil mine all the time and never have issues with softening the wheels .

Yeah the boiling method works great. Ive used it a few times.
