I think I saw donuts on Stormers site.

To get the old rubber off the rims, just soak them in paint thinner until the donuts literaly fall off.
Thats the way this old guy does it, I use laquer thinner and contact cement. I used to get my donuts from rc4less and he was the guy I got the plastic cone from. They used to call it a shoe horn in the olden days(back in the 80's). I had to ask the guy at rc4less for one because he didn't have one listed on his web sight.

Check with them, they are great to deal with.
