I am sorry if this info offends you, but sometimes the truth hurts.
No offence here. If the wheels are heat treated then one would still be able to weld them.... BUT... the process would be much more complicated and expensive. Not that it couldn't be done, but too expensive to pay for it done and most likely beyond the means of anyone to do it themselves.
Have truck wheels always been heat treated? i.e. 40's they weren't heat treated but from the 50's on they were...or have they always been. I believe that on our older trucks the frames are not heat treated, but on modern trucks they are. Just wondering if wheels are the same.
