matsoki:
I was thinking of geting them re-ano'd, then put them in a lathe to re cut the line.

But a 20" chuck is fooking huge!!!  :idiot2:

Gnarlyscoots:
I would try bath sealant or clear latex filler in the groove. Be sure to get it smooth to the rim though as the anno will not take to it and any overrun onto the rim will look silly once you removed it from the groove.

The other thing you could try is fill the groove with silver paint. When they are anno'd, it will not take to the paint so when you remove it after annodising, it will look good if any minute remnants of paint are left in the grooves  :daumenhoch:

its only 16" on a lathe as 20" was the tire size.

Pioneer:
I think a lathe is not on lads unless someone can swing 16 inches in a 4 jaw chuck  that can grip the outside of the rim.

There is no way of truing up a rim has a hop or a wobble.

It needs to be machined in a horizontal position.......

Would suggest clamped to a Mill table in a jig that spins and holds the shape of the rim so it's flat and round.

There is a piece of engineering equipment that is called a slot saw.....this will be the correct width

Just a thought  :)
