I made a mold. This might actually work. No bubbles. If I can just get a basic shape out of it I can work with it from there. The plastic ring is not centered on the interior rod. It wanders around. Neither one of the wheels are perfectly round or flat. both of these wheels are 3 spoke wheels. The Chevy wheel spokes ar at 3-6-9 o'clock orientation and the donor wheel is more of a 2-6-10 orientation, That's why I have so much to patch. When I welded it I kept the 6 o'clock location the same. One of my concerns is the spacing on the finger grooves. On the donor wheel there was about 2" on each spoke that had no finger grooves. Did the spacing run continuous or were they spaced between the spokes? The 10 and 2 o'clock ones lined up great but the 6 o'clock one was off half a groove on the right side. It seems they started laying them out clockwise from the 6 o'clock and it just ended where it ended. I had to cut the bottom piece to get the grooves to line up on both sides. I made a little tool out of a bolt to drill little fill/relief hole through the silicone and wood top.

Old enough to know better, too young to resist.
