From another website:
Kevin Rohlwing, senior vice president of training for the Tire Industry Association, wrote the narration for a safety video underwritten by Michelin North America. The overall subject of the 20-minute video, which can be seen at the Michelin Web site, is wheel end safety. The segment on wheel welding includes the following cautionary advice:
Welding on a rim or wheel will change the properties and strength of the metal. Never apply heat or weld on a wheel, especially when the tire is still mounted on the rim.
Remember, it is an OSHA violation to apply heat or weld on a wheel or rim. When you weld on a wheel or rim, you're placing yourself and others around you in imminent danger - especially if the tire is still mounted.
