You need to get a tyre and cut it where the sidewall meets the tread then stick the sidewall back onto the tyre.

Or you could make a self retracting one...

Not so much what I did on my mini but what I made out of mini parts. For years we've had an old, bent, rusty rim hanging on the front fence for the garden hose.
Then one arvo I walked past it and got a great idea....

After a dig around in my pile of spare wheels I came up with a bald A-OO8 on a nice steel rim. Then after some 9" angle grinding on the tyre, a sand blast, some cream paint and a freshly polished hub cap I ended up with this.

Just needs some tyre shine and it'll be done.
I reckon it's cool and it looks awesome 8) :D .
