Im interested in flipping some spare rims I have laying around. I am a confident boilermaker and I have a couple of thoughts how I can do it but want to put it to the people to ask any advice or tips

Thanks for the read and any tips or tricks will be much appreciated

I'd make a jig to bolt face to and some to clamp rim edges down onto a perfect flat thick steel table, Which you should have.

Make sure runout is minimum/perfect otherwise you may run into drama's balancing from being buckled. Keep the jig, And do more on the side

Offroad_Solutions has done a few sets for me as well as lots for other people.
He doesn't use a jig, just a lathe and a big hammer.
