Hyper 7 wheels = FRAGILE

Arg, I just spent a ton of $$$, and now my Hyper 7 rims broke on their 2nd tank, after a moderate tumble. LHS said they've seen a few of them brake... So I switched to dish's... I guess I'll have to sacrifice form for function. Now the hard part is removing the tires from the rims. I've done the bake in the oven trick for my Savage tires, but these should be 10x worse Any other hints?

I have heard that boiling them for about 5-10 minutes should help you. Good to know those are brittle. I had no clue, I'm still quite new to the buggy market.
