yes of course. it would be just like if you got a flat without the rims, you could get a new tire but you would still keep the same rim.

As long as the rim is not damaged when your tire goes flat, a new tire can be put on the rim. If the rim itself is damaged, the seal will not hold on the new tire. I have had flat tires before, and that is what the difference is in the replacement.

Yes... but there are some issues.
If you get specialty rims that do not fit a standard tire changing machine you may have difficulty finding a shop to change the tire for you. Also, if the rims are too expensive some tire shops will decline to change the tires out due to the risk of damaging an expensive rim.
Hope this helps!

I would say if the new tire is the same size as the one you are replacing on the chrome rims there shouldn't be a problem. Sometimes your regular tire iron that you use to loosen the bolts won't work on replacement rims to get the lug nuts off. You may have to buy a new one to fit the new rim lugs.

Yes they can,now if the rims are taller or deeper you will need a biger size tire to go on it and that is a lot more money. I had deep dish rims on the back of my stang and my tiers were about 2 times the price stock ones were. But come on, NE thing aftermarket is more expensiv. But I really do think its worth it to have something you are proud of.

Yes. Chrome rims are made just like any other rims.
The only thing you need to worry about is road salt during the winter. They can get easily damaged by it.

First of all you have spelled CHROME wrong!
And second what kind of a rock did you grow up under....why would they make any rim that was disposable.
ALL rims can have there tires replaced.
I guess you don't boast about your brains!!!
or maybe its the roaster

depending on the tire place yes maybe no.. but the machine they use to repace tires arent very rim gentle.. and they wont be responsible for nicks scratches or outright breakage, and some place wont touch em at all, so call around and ask first

yes. they make tires for every size rim on the market. may not be cheap, but you really don't have any other choice at that point
