Default No-Mar tire machine on dually wheel rim?

I need to use my tire machine in the next couple days. Trying not to drill holes in my concrete to mount my No-Mar tire machine. Would bolting it to a dually rim ( large heavy 16 inch RV rim) provide enough weight to use the machine to remove and mount tires?

I need the tire machine moveable. And if I bolt it to the concrete, I can unbolt and move...but was looking for other options.

That's not likely to work out very well. You really need to mount it solidly to the floor.

I was hoping the truck rim was heavy enough. But I suspected it would not be.

Bolting to the rim compounds your problem, now you have a bigger unit to store/walk around. I would suggest a female concrete anchor. When not in use, pull the anchor bolts and put them back in the anchors to keep the crap out. Another alternitive is to bolt it on a 2X2 steel tube that fits in your truck's receever hitch.

I have mine bolted to 3/4" plywood 4x8 sheet, cut in half.
Another option is to bolt to 4' x 4' piece of steel diamond plate.

The trailer hitch mount option works great, keeps it portable.

I drilled the concrete and put in 4 sleeves to screw the lag bolts into. Done now.
