Chevrolet Sonic Repair Manual: Steel Wheel Repair Description
Caution:
Do not heat wheels in an attempt to soften them for straightening or repair damage from striking curbs, etc. Do not weld wheels. The alloy used in these wheels is heat-treated and uncontrolled heating from welding affects the properties of the material.
Caution:
The use of tubes in tubeless tires is not a recommended repair due to the fact that speed ratings are greatly reduced.
You can repair porosity in aluminum wheels. If leaks are found in a steel wheel, replace the wheel with a wheel of original equipment quality.
