Severely Rusted Steel Wheel - Perfect Wheel Restoration

For this weeks video ive decided to get back to basics before making a start on the more complex projects ive got lined up including another big project ;)
So this time i decided to restore a super rusty spare wheel i had lying around the yard, As you can see it has definitely seen better days and is in dire need of being rescued, Really Random Channel to the rescue!
So the first thing i done was to get it up on the work bench and give it a goon inspection to make sure there are no cracks or major dents that would stop me restoring it, as you can tell the wheel checked out just fine and i could crack on with removing the tyre or tire if you prefer ;)
The tyre ware removed on my tyre changing machine, first the valve was removed then the bead was broken with the bead breaker and then mounted onto the machine and the tyre gets levered over the shoe and the machine rotated to lift the tyre up and over the rim and voila one removed tyre.
Once i had the tyre off and disposed of the valve was removed from the rim, the only way to remove these valves is by cutting them out so thats what i did, a sharp Stanley made short work of it... and yes there were a few spiders hiding in that web around the valve neck!
the wheel is then given a thorough scrubbing and pressure washing with APC and water, this removed all of the green mildew, spider webs and any loose rust as well as dissolving any rogue grease and grime.
Once dry the now clean rim was loaded into the media/sand blaster and given a 100 psi scrubbing to remove all traces of rust. This leaves the wheel nice clean but with lots of little pits where the rust had been eating into the steel so this will be addressed in the next step.
U-pol body filler is used to fill in the heavy pitting that the rust caused and after sanding leaves me with a nice smooth surface ready for some high build primer to remove any last imperfections that the filler may have missed.
I hung and panel wiped the rim in preparation for the next stage which is etch priming the bare steel so that the high build 2k has a base to grip onto. Once this is applied and cured i head back to the bench to wet flat the primer back to a perfectly level surface, This is where the super glossy finish is created.
After i cleaned the wheel thoroughly to remove all sanding residue, i mixed up some 2k Gloss black and gave the wheel 3 coats to achieve full coverage and minimum thickness to avoid chipping on the edges when tyre fitting or bolting to the car. After this was cured it was simply a case of fitting a new tyre, new valve inflating and standing back to admire my work and be satisfied in the knowledge i fought the battle against rust and triumphed once more!
Thank you for watching and i hope to see you in the next video :)

Hey Guys, As you have probably noticed already i have updated the channel name and logo. The channel is no longer Really Random Channel it is now RRC Restoration. Just incase you were wondering why the water marks in the video still say Really Random Channel. Enjoy.

[@RRCRestoration]

[@shaggybreeks]

The sounds were really helpful. You could tell when he put the wheel on the table, because you could hear it. Nice use of sound! So glad you didn't ruin all the bonks and clicks by trying to SAY WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

[@idleford]

When first setting the bead of a tire always let the air all the way back out before filling it to the proper PSI. It lets everything settle and helps a great deal with balancing the tire.

[@TheGhost28]

Justin Fisher what? Letting air out then airing back up has nothing to do with letting the tire settle. Your federal courgias always balance like shit and your mastercraft are the best at balancing. It just depends on the tire and where the heavy spots are on the wheel. If you get cheap shit tires then they’ll balance like shit, I’ve had them before, they were amp tires.

The time and resources that you spent on this could easily worth a full set of four new ones, or more.

Nicely done as usual. Step One: Get Tire Machine or take it to a shop to get the tire dismounted/mounted. So no balancer then? Look forward to the next project. Complex sounds good..still hoping for a Full Body Off Car/Truck Restoration or maybe an ex-military prop aircraft! :-) Cheers!

Great video......I'm probably going to just go the rustoleum route with mine....it rides under the bed of my truck and gets subjected to salt spray from the crap our DOT puts on the roads in the wintertime. If I were restoring a classic car- THIS would be the method I'd use, lol.

[@fatman5876]

My man out here bondoeing the rims 😂😂

Its the only way to smooth out the rust pits without structurally weakening the wheel by grinding it down.
