Anybody do this or do you still have the tires changed like normal 1 pc wheels?

Any reason not to separate 3 piece wheels to mount tires?

Change them just like any other tire. Don't mess with the wheels if they aren't leaking or you aren't changing anything. Some have a seal in there which can be spending to replace, or they are glued together,which can be a major pain. You will find it to be much more work to unbolt all those little guys, using a screw driver to pry the tire off the seat. In my eyes, DON"T MESS WITH THE WHEEL

I would never take multi piece wheels apart to change tires. That's lot of little bolts that need to be torqued in the proper sequence, probably 2-3 passes, plus getting the seal between the pieces. Much easier to just change them the regular way.

Only if it's a truck. /:\

I've never taken mine apart

BTW if you DO take them apart, getting them so they don't leak is a real PITA!

Like others have said, leave them together. Depending on how the wheel is put together, some have seals, some you have to seal with a silicone sealant. Either of which you typically can not check while putting a tire on.

Nice thing about multi piece wheels is that you can change damaged items for less money than the entire wheel, and they are typically lighter.

Wah

May I ask why you consider this method in the first place ?
