I'm not knocking your repair as it looks excellent. However, given the forces applied while in use I for one would shy away from aluminum wheel repair. Just too many liability issues. If I did such a repair I would insist on a post repair X-ray. Call me a safety Nazi, I'm OK with that.

You wouldn't believe how many I see a month that are cracked and full of JB Weld. No it doesn't really work for cracks...Bob
