Default Clean and paint the rims first

I've found that one of the secrets to putting tires on CMP rims and being able to get them off again is to start by really cleaning the rims and painting them. Clean down to bare metal prime and paint, I've always used gloss enamel, with hardener, same color as truck. Let the paint really several days before mounting the tires. The difference this makes in getting the tires off again is worth the effort. You can actually change a tube with tire irons in about 20 minutes.
