"Melted the rims?"

"Unreal."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aluminum alloys.

Ever hear of melting beer cans and pouring the melt down fire ant holes?

Several videos on the subject on YouTube...

Pure aluminium metal melts at 1,221°F (660.32°C). Eutectic mixtures (alloys -- as used in wheels) melt at considerably lower temperatures.

(Analogy: pure Tin & Lead -- vs -- 63%/37% solder...)

Real.
