Kerb rash.....
The kerb rash vanishes as soon as Mr. Sander makes an appearance!
Two swipes with the sander or an '80 grit' flapper wheel will obliterate any traces of grinding on concrete. Since the wheel is now unpainted, that's all the treatment it needs.

Nice job, as for the powdercoating Eastwood has a inexpensive powercoat setup. just need a oven that can used to "bake" the rims in. Preferrably NOT the one in the kitchen.
