Looks nice!
On the next one plan on a shrink fit of the rim to the center, that's how I've always seen factory rims done. The rim will grow a lot if you warm it with a good torch, one or two of those propane weed burner things would be helpful. Be prepared with a jig to set backspacing as it cools. Then mount it and adjust and check with an indicator before tack welding.
For this one seems like you can tack weld it and adjust run-out as you go, then finish the weld after you've got it true and secure.

I was thinking about trying to shrink it in.. I even have access to a big oven.. but I needed to make sure I could get it where it needed to be on this first one.. im also somewhat concerned about warping the rim blank if I heat it too much..
But the plan is to come up with a decent fixture that I can mount on the rotary table that I used to machine the rim that I can spin and check the radial runout..
Crenwelge.. 050 sounds darn good to me..
I have heard that on the bias plys they usually dont run out all that well anyway cause alot of them are hand made?? none the less, i will get it as close as I possibly can...
Thanks Guys!
