Yeah, when radials came on market in the 1960s/70s the wheel manufacturers began to experience failures due to the greater flex of radials. Welding of the discs to the rims addressed it. I’ve also read iirc that there was some NHTSA involvement on that. So that is a fairly new wheel. I did look in the references this afternoon at 1980s era 15x6L MW wheels and saw a Jeep version. Stu
