The previous owner of a 3-ton truck I bought used the wheels on his hay trailer. Unfortunately, he wasn't very maintenence concious, and the wheel nuts came loose. The bolt holes wore to about 3 or 4 times the original size. He threw the wheel aside, but I thought, "Why not rebuild the holes?" So Dad and I went to work on it last afternoon. We placed a thick washer with the right hole size in the wheel hole, and welded it in, and slowly built up the weld until it was just over flush with the rest of the rim. Then we ground the weld down to flush with the rim. Looks just like new, and should easily be strong enough.
