In the late '60s one of the Nygaard twins broke two of the Halibrand mag
wheels on their Cobra in a racing accident.  I'm not sure where the work
was done, but they had the breaks welded up and machined.  The result
was that you couldn't see the welds or even tell that the wheels had
ever been broken.
