I do use a tire truer for these. I use contact cement to clue them. I cut the inner rim lip off with a razor and sand them down a bit for the clue to catch onto something. I coat both inner foam donut and wheel. Let airdry a bit and then coat both donut and wheel again to act as lubricant and activator. Just squeez the donunt in place and dry overnite. Next day I just cut them down on the truer or drillpress.

The rims are Traxxas Rear Wheel Chrome Nitro Rustler.
