Still unable to do much at the start of the week, but towards the middle of the week I was able to start preparing to spray the wheels with primer.  I mixed the paint then laid out five wheels and wire-brushed the deeply pitted remaining rust.  I then sprayed the inside face with zinc phosphate red oxide, applying two coats.  I gave the five a second coat after 24 hours and then started on the remaining two, wire-brushing then a single coat of red oxide, applying a second coat on the following day, laying on as much paint as I could.

I was able to work out what I had once they all had been painted. Two skinny ones for the front, two more of the same pattern but fatter, for the outer rears, two of a identical but different from the others for the rear inners and an odd one for the spare.

Four of the wheels after blasting and rears primed.
