[DeTomaso] How tough are 15" factory magnesium wheels

[adin at frontier.net]

ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGgggggghhhhhhhhhh.

1) clean the rim before you apply - it might help. OK, I admit  - ITS  
MANDATORY!
2) centrifigal (centripital?) force keeps the wt from flying off and  
damaging your wheel well, or anything.
3) if you don't trust your cleaning job, tape or silicone will let you sleep.

God love the tire monkies . . .  if they weren't there YOU would have  
to figure out how to do it.  Just watch for the little tire monkies  
that haven't figured out the hard stuff.

FWIW - My tire monkey told me his Honda would rev to 10,000 rpm . . .  
wanna race I asked him.   His reply?  Well, I blew it up . . . .
