    once you have all the welding done you can grind you welds. if you don't plan to grind you welds that is fine. the one weld that you MUST GRIND is the one where the tire sits. the inside of the wheel needs to be clean from any trash or slag if you plan to use tubes in your tires.

    it takes about 1 1/2 days to do a pair when grinding all the welds. a day without grinding the welds.
