If this wheel is on a truck that's going over the road, then I'd be awful uncomfortable with a repaired wheel. I'd be especially uncomfortable if these wheels require tapered lug nuts. It's near impossible to get the correct profile on the taper, or even maintain the flatness of the wheel itself. If the wheel has high points and low points, or the tapers are not perfect, the wheel will not torque correctly. With improper/uneven torques, you run the risk of the nuts backing off, and the wheel going for a hike. I don't think I would use a repaired wheel on a truck, but if you do, keep an eye on it.
