With the split ring Budd wheels there is always some saftey concern with mounting new rubber but I was wondering if anyone has ever welded the ring on perminently and then levered the tires over it the same way you would with a one piece wheel?

I'm thinking there is probably a lot of good reasons not to but I'm not thinking of any of them at the moment. Is this a bad idea?

All input and "are you crazy" comments welcome.
