How long did it take?

the stripping/drilling and polishing took the longest, about 2 hours per rim (the sides were a wreck)
the building was surprisingly quick, just over an hour for the first wheel, then around 40 minutes for the second wheel once i knew what i was doing.
no doubt i could build a set a lot quicker now that its in my head. 8)
