Ok so imagine a potter throwing a pot in clay on a wheel, bit like that but on a lathe and using metal blank discs, pusing it down to form it onto a hardened metal chuck as it spins round

No no no, that giant ass piece of alu. remains giant, it basicallly looks like a massive 72" contact lense and ends up on top of roofs as a ventilation shaft cover.

all those new pics are a much smaller job , I was just showing you the process which is pretty much the same for any spinning job.

The wheel rim protector are not spun by hand anyway, there done on this beast!
