This was a fun little project and we documented it well with pics so i figured i would share.
here is the spare the customer needs a smooth cover made for. he already has the band that goes around the tread part of the tire
after measuring and laying everything out i started shrinking over the edge on the power hammer
marking where to shrink more on the edges
all the shrinking done
starting to blend and planish
then i use the lennox to tighten and refine the radius
after a handful of passes on the lennox
installing the band
grinding down the weld after welding up the center pivot hole
some light shrinking with a shrinking disc in some spots
all finished out with a DA and ready to ship
