I am interested in a bead breaker too. Do either of those two damage the wheel?

I've had allot of success using my truck to run over the sidewall of the tire. That is actually the only way I have found to get tires off stock wheels.

In my shop I have one that breaks beads and puts tires on made by K&L. You can purchase them through your local Parts unlimited dealer for around 400 bucks. A little pricey but it's actually shop quality and very portable, will cause no damage to rims if done properly. Dirtwheels had a write up about them a couple of issues ago and had good reviews on it. Its called the MC135 ATV/BeadBuster. Heres a link to their website.
