[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3714122, member: 15054"] Poor boy that thing back onto the road. Wheel and tire is easily fixed. In a pinch without a welder you could drill the hole a bit larger and stick a valve stem into it backwards. Welding on wheels is not a big deal many aluminum rims are welded together. Some are bolted together. If you do get another rim because you are scared of it then save it for a spare. Do a simple cheap fix on it and keep it around. I would not be scared to JB weld that hole. I use it on aluminum all the time and submersed in gasoline it holds up perfectly. I have cut 2 steel rims and welded them together with 6011 and Lincoln AC 225 welder to make a 10" wide rim from a couple 7" rims. Do not want to drill the hole larger you could get a screw that fit the hole well and twist it in and then once it is threaded in back it out and cut it shorter so it is just gets through the rim apply JB weld to the hole and screw and screw it in and let it set up. I have repaired a 1" long cut in a sidewall on a 235-75-15 with E6000 and ran it on my trailer until the tread was slick. Tire was almost new when it happened. [/QUOTE]
