Have my whees back from the machine shop. They cut the centers to fit hub centric hubs. Here a few questions about the clean up before refinishing them.
All around the inside if the wheel are pairs of holes spaced about 4" apart. I'll probably fill them with JB Weld. Do you think they're from manufacture or prior repairs? And. After an hour is scrubbing with several wheel cleaners and scratch pads (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) the inside is still covered in years of soaked in grime. Short of sandblasting would it be ok to hit them with a brass soft wire wheel or the likes? What else works to get the grime off? And OK to file down and fill in the gouges with JB?

That's what I was thinking too. I own a tire machine, that if the "tines" were sharp enough, would do the same thing. Mine is "touchless" and thats all that should be used these days. I own several ATS classic wheels that were broken, (centers), on a "traditional" tire machine,(like a Coats 40/40)....., by people who didn't know what they were doing.
