    I had a big stack of jeep wheels that I bought over the years.
    Went through them and scraped some that had rust through and worn out lug holes.
    Had the rest sand blasted by a company I do air compressor work for. There blasting booth is like 30 feet wide and 120 feet long 20 foot tall. So thay had no problem doing my small wheels.

    I had about 20 that I took to him, but only 12 came out good.

    So I got them home and set up to paint, first put on a 2 part primer and then 2 coats of Kirker white paint.

    This gave me 2 sets, one 15" for my 1969 J3500 pickup and a set of 16' for 1949 Willys Overland pickup.
    One 16 X 5.5 for a spar for the FC170 truck, and a couple left over that I will sell.

    I still have 3 more sets to do but thay still have tires on them .
