mounts upside down but NOT clamped from inside out (unless you want teeth marks on your lip). upside down and clamped from outside. Any reputable tire shop will know how this is done. For extra protection, some shops use plastic or duct tape on the clamps.

Or go to a shop that grabs the wheel by the lug holes and center bore. We have a similar machine at work. It's a Corghi. Awesome machine.
