Hunter Revolution
May have seen this before, but videos were buried in the posts, so here are a couple showing the Hunter machine mounting a Z06 tire. The hardest part seems to always be how to get the bead to seat once the tire is in place...takes a special technique, not just a blast of air pressure.
Also, so automated that a 10 year old can do it on a more standard tire.
Makes me not want to let any shop touch my Stingray wheels unless they have at least this quality of machine, nothing less.

I went to the Hunter Engineering website and learned they have quite an array of tire changing equipment. Additionally I learned from a local shop that all Hunter wheel changers cannot handle large custom type wheels. Their Revolution model is the grand daddy state-of-the-art machines to use. To find out who in your area has this machine just drop Hunter Engineering an email and they will give you a list of vendors. This is the only machine I use on my custom wheels.
How much is that little gem costing...

My dealership (Huffines Chevrolet in Lewisville, TX) just got this machine (or one very similar), and it was quite impressive to watch in action.
