Try it with a bicycle rim first. I've restored a few balloon-tire bicycles
from the '50s before coming home to a Triumph, and believe me, it is NOT at
all easy, even with plenty of practice. It may even be a little more
difficult than a bicycle's rims because your car's spokes won't flex like a
bike's.
Best of luck if you do try it.
