Default Reverse Mount Wheels

The sticker on the Volk RE30s indicates that it is a reverse mount wheel, which requires mounting the tire with the front of the wheel facing down. I've never ran into such wheels in my career as a technician. Does anyone know what the difference is and what will happen if I attempt to mount the tires using the traditional method?

Thanks in advance.

it will be nearly impossible to mount it with the face up, it will most likely rip the bead of the tire....when you bring it to a shop to get mounted, make sure they put covers on the clamps of the machine to make sure it doesnt scratch the wheel...also, i think Euro style changers are the only changers capable of doing reverse mount wheels, old school 40/40 changers won't be able to do it.
