My next door neighbor Todd had a 16.5 tire on a thick wagon wheel always going flat. He would air it up with starting fluid. He saw where it was leaking . It was the rim was cracked. He never even left the air out and he decided to hit it with some weld.
Well I shouldn't have to tell you what happened. My wife found him in the street moaning. The rim look like a tulip. The doors and windows in the garage were blown out and it sucked all the glass back in. Broke his arms and and he couldn't hear . Kathy said he looked like the wile-e-coyote after a bad day. Blacked out face and all.
