I watched it on TV once. they used a wood baseball bat in the wheelwell against the tire & drove the car ahead. being the bat is tapered you have some control on how much you roll the lip. It looked easy. I've never tried it. Maybe a vid on you tube?

bat trick is a poor mans fender rolling machine and doing it that way will run you a risk of damage......any rim/wheel shop in your area should have the REAL fender rolling machine,they also sell them on ebay
