Step four - Tack weld the edge of the ring to the inner lip of the wheel, skipping around the wheel a few inches at a time.

Step five – Fully weld the ring to the wheel making sure the weld is of high quality (all welding should be performed by a certified welder

Step six – Clean the wheel of all grinding dust and degrease.

Step seven – Mask off all wheel surfaces to remain unpainted.

Step eight – Apply a primer to the rock ring and welded area, see primer can for manufacturer’s directions.

Step nine – Apply desired paint to wheel using the same directions as for the above steps.
