Large truck steel wheels are heat treated and annealed for stress relief.

many years ago I worked for Norris Industries they manufactured light truck and heavy duty truck steel wheels.

Truck wheels go through a different process than auto wheels and pressed steel wheels.

this is because of the load stress not only just driving down the road, but sideways stress when going around curves in the highways.

When you weld a steel truck wheel there is distortion in the molecular structure of the steel. You would have to have the wheels heat treated then annealed.

I had a 6.50x20 steel wheel on my 3 ton GMC that had been welded. I now use it for a vise anchor stand.

I am sorry if this info offends you, but sometimes the truth hurts.

There are some ideas that seem great a first, but then reality sets in.

Dance like no one is watching,
Sing like no one is listening,
Love like you've never been hurt.
