Default Re: Aluminum/Steel weld identification

Looks like a all steel plug weld done with MIG. Mark is correct about the crater at the end of the puddle. The aluminum cast center section has steel lugs cast in. This is what is welded to the outer rim. The GMAW (Mig) was around in the 1960's in industry. Hard to date the weld, could the wheels have been restored?
