[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3714812, member: 745"] If this is the way you decide to go, make sure that the wheel is preheated to around 400° F then allowed to cool in the ambient air after the welding to help alleviate inducing a point of stress at the weld. This is the process that was used when welding cracks in the aluminum cylinder heads on aircraft air cooled engines. (They liked to crack between one of the spark plug holes and either the intake or exhaust port.) Woody [/QUOTE]
