There is a way, it's called a tire machine, :P Just make shure the bead on the rim is cleaned very well and the tire sealer is applied. Aluminum rims need that stuff to prevent corrosion , and seal better. :)

Allan ~ it looks good from any angle, doesn't it?

Cool that you have a little brother to witness your obsession! Treat him kindly and let him "help" you with small Z projects. Teach him the importance of safety while working on the car, etc.

As he grows older, he will witness your joys and frustrations in Z ownership, and share those emotions with you. When he's old enough to buy his own cars, your Z will remain in his mind, with all the wonderous memories of watching his big brother enjoying a Z.

When we had our Z car show in June, it was rewarding to see so many 20-year-olds showing their Series-1 Z cars, going thru the same problems we old guys did when we were 20 and owned them.

Guess what, Allan? Your brother is a very important person ~ he's the next Z generation.

I envy you, guy!

yeah i always try to include him when i work on the car even if its having him get me the wrench or having him hold the bolts he always does some thing also he keeps saying that when he gets older hes going to get a car that is faster than the Z and i just tell him that i might just buy him one like like mine lol then he just says " can i just have yours " love the little bugger
