This is a thought. Probably overkill and not cost effective (yet). There is a process called thermal spray welding that can build up a surface on a shaft, so why not a wheel? Obviously the process would involve prep to clean metal, mounting on some type of spindle to heat the wheel and spray the weld, then machining on a large enough lathe. It might work if the wheel is rare enough and the desire there.
