One idea I thought of was to make a cutter that would just skim cut the sidewalls. So you could have a nice polished sidewall with the dark ano intact on the rim center face and a clean edge between the two.


You would have to cut them as very true and round built wheels. But I was thinking you could make lathe style cutters that would mount on brake calipers, then use a frame to make the cuts. Or something similar with abrasive pads instead of cutters. Again the wheels would really have to be true and round or it could get ugly. But they were already ugly.


Anyway, not something I'd ever spend the time on these days.......................
