1976 wheels

[Oldyorkcity]

I took my wheels to the paint shop to have them sandblasted and epoxy coated, but two of them are so corroded around the hole for the valve, that they seem beyond repair. Does anyone know whether there's a neat welding technique to repair the valve hole, or do I need to get new rims? If so, does anyone have two to sell me? They are the type that has a simple chromed cover that screws into a hole at the centre of the rim.

These type of wheels are designed to use tubes as there is no safety ridge to hold tyre on so providing there is no sharp edge to cut into the inner tube stem all should be good
