After you get them done, you might want to check out replacing the air in the tires with nitrogen. It has been used for years in aircraft and race car tires. Some of the advandages are that there is no moisture (so no rust) and that will help save those rims for the future generations. If you are near an airport or a welding shop check it out. Wayne
