You should be able to glue them just fine, I had a set of aluminum rims for a large scale car of mine, the ca glue held fine.

Yeah, I just sanded the rim lightly and the stuck fine. I ran them for a month or so, the actual rim broke in a crash and the tire was still attached. Im sure there may be a better glue for alum. but I've yet to find it(not like I have tried too much). But the best part of the alum rims... if it doesnt work you can take it back off pretty easy
