beadlocks on flipped sunnies

Post by mule75 »

i have flipped sunnies that i have welded a beadlock ring on without knowing that you cant put a tyre on backwards :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words:
i got two of them on but damaged the bead pretty bad on one of them(brand new 36et2's)
has anyone f@#ked up like this before?? i'm thinking of putting the rim in a big lathe and machining about 5mm off the edge and trying again.

what to do????????????????????????????????????????
