Found it!!! http://www.vtr.org/maintain/tires-TR6.html, from the VTR site.
Luckily when I had mine mounted the shop recognized the wheels needed to
mount from the back side. Something about the way the rim is shaped, a
reputable tire shop should recognize this. Sorry I don't know what the mag
mount method is.

OK,
WHICH side is the "wrong" side??? I've got a brand new set of tires
waiting for the last coat of clear lacquer paint to dry on my wheels
before I get them mounted and balanced...
I'd prefer a clear explanation...and...what is the MAG mount method that
is supposedly easier on rims?

I spoke with a mechanic at a tire shop and the way the TR6 rims are
made, if
you mount the tires from the wrong side there is a chance the rim will
be
damaged. I seem to remember on a web site that this was mentioned,
possibly
the Buckeye web page.

Please disregard. This was sent after they told my wife the rims were
bent.
When I got home I saw how bad they were and realized the tire shop had
caused
the severe bending. They have since repaired the rims and I'm on the
road...thanks to all who responded.
