If you get it hot enough it will could put in some carrots and spuds and save it for dinner [X(] Rims are very in expensive compaired to tires, unless your broke just buy the rims [&o]

In rare cases some rims will melt but most will not. I have boiled several rims with no problems.

You can also bake them but it will stink up the house and have more of a chance to melt the rims or make them to soft so when you take them out they bend.

The tires stay on thread locks better but they break just like the rest...............probably the strongest are the dish models and some of the multi spoke ones also...........sounds like you need to do a bit more research..... Pulling tires of of rims is a pain.....................15 minutes to a half hour isn't worth $14.00 a set to me [&:]
