    Short story. I used to work at a hole in the wall two bay tire dealer and 2-3 times a year we’d get brought two sets of McLaren F1 wheels from BMW corporate to swap. They were for a super wealthy client who would rent a local airport out for his friends and him to do hot laps at.

    They couldn’t mount them because they had a newer Hunter machine with the roller, where we had an old clamp turnstile machine and pry bars. More importantly, they didn’t know that the wheels had to be reverse mounted due to how the barrel was shaped. Saw some cool stuff working at that place.
