Ca is super glue.

Remember...when you glue new tires to new rims....there is some prep work involved that will help those tires stay put.

rpms rims come so that you dont have to sand the area where the tire will go.

Some rims have chrome around the area that the tire needs to be glued to.....In that case you'll need to use scotch brite....or sand paper to rough up the plastic and remove any of the chrome that can inhibit good glue contact.

Default CA Glue

Great info in those replies.

Grab a bottle of debonder as well to clean up the mess on your fingers and such when your done.

I didn't have a heck of a lot of luck with "crazy,super" glue. But, That was before I read CMO's link for tire gluing. The tires and rims must be clean and scuffed. I've had excellent results since. BTW CA is MUCH cheaper than the other glues by volume.

The best CA glue I've used is the proline brand I've never had a tire come unglued yet in 4 years of offroad racing and the debonder they sell isn't worth it your better off using acetone or carb cleaner
