[QUOTE="phoneman, post: 987920, member: 541477"] I have no idea about the heating. All that I have done has been alluminum alloy and it was more or less just to get them to hold air and be safe to drive on. The first time I did it was on one of mine that I had hit the curb and it went flat in just a few seconds. I thought it was totally trashed but one day hanging out at a party I grabbed my buddies hammer and an air compressor and had it. It worked really well and I never had to air that tire again and put 2 more sets on it over the next several years. The only problem was it had a bunch of hammer marks on the wheel so thats when I decided to start using a peice of wood to dampen it. I am no professional and I really dont know if doing this is safe or not, I was just bored and to cheap to buy another rim and it worked Depending on the metal, heating it may cause it to weaken or it may cause it to become discolored with heat marks.
