that's good info, hadn't realized that. Need to check with Grundy once I get everything checked.

I agree with Corvette95 I’ve personally welded up wheels that looked like a total mess. For yours it needs to be cut through completely with a fine saw like a coping saw to get rid of any brake dust etc then v notched all around and stripped back about an inch an a half.... prep and finishing is the hard part welding is literally 10 minutes with 3 passes total.... I’m sure those are like welding billet with no impurity’s.... I was begged to weld a old mopar bellhousing from a cuda...about 6 inches down from the top left the crack started and went up and over the top to the opposite side and had about 3 inches still holding but I could stick my fist in the crack.... Two or three hours later was done and even blended off the bead filled any small pits blended them inside and out and blasted it.... They thought I had switched it out with one I had....so all it takes is time and effort....

Aluminum can be welded and be as good or better than new.
A friend made his living for years welding heads and blocks for supercharged racing engines. Major blow ups welded back together, re-machined and good to go racing.

A local shop has welded hundred of aluminum wheels that were cracked/broken with no come backs.

Weld it up and keep as a spare.
