My wheel is not where it needs to be to go on my car. Thanks in advance.

Al, don't be afraid to use it, you've had it for how many years now and I know you actually drive your car more than most people ha ha ha The repairs and finish I use make the wheel stronger and much more durable than they originally were so use it as much as you want without any worries. The wheel I did in my car is over 10 years old (60,000 + miles ago) now and looks like it did the day I finished it. I even drive my car during the winter and as a matter of fact the last time I drove it (2 weeks ago) the outside temperature was -12c. The roads were dry so I took it to my Saturday ball hockey game so it went from a nice warm +15c garage to -12c and was parked outside for 5 hours. The carbon fiber shell I build around the wheels is incredibly tough and has less expansion/contraction issues than any other method of repair. Modern technology is the way to go, there's no place for epoxy fillers if you actually want the repair to last. I just noticed that Stan is in the background of this shot!
