I don't get the video. 30 seconds of welding is not going to increase the temp so much to increase the PSI in the tire that much? Then why would you weld on a wheel fully mounted and pressurized?
I have had a aluminum MC wheel repaired on a bike I used for track days. I had no issues with it for 8 years and the guy who bought it from me had no issues for another 10 years before the bike was scrapped.
Also had a friend who widened a set of steel wheels on his GTO. Cut them apart, welded and balanced pretty good. They are 30 years in and still going strong.
