Yup - ive got 5 that happened to on my AA rims and they are doomed for the scrap pile - not taking any chances on a rolling grenade...Im saving them if someone wants to weld the centers to some other hoops or needs something to roll around the garage/barn with.

if its that thin a low power welder is blowing thru the whole wheel is compromised. Id hate to have you fold a rim going around a corner or something. Rims are still out there - just have to travel farther.
