Avoiding rim damage on tyre change
Is it possible to swap the tyres and not mark the rims on BMW's new soft-as-cheese alloy rims?
I had a quick go, but both times I started to apply enough pressure to shift the tyre the rim marked. Gave up and took them to a tyre fitter, who reckons their machines don't touch the rims so there shouldn't be any damage...
Is it me? Or is there a special gadget I ought to be using as well as the irons to protect the rims?
