it depends on how the rule book reads where you race. if they even go by it. you can cut another wheel center out and lay it over the original and weld it fast for a double thick wheel. you can also use flat stock from the wheels edge to the wheels center hole lip and let it touch the wheel buldge in the middle, welding all three contact points to the wheel. kind of like spokes. 5 on a five hole wheel and 4 on a four holer.
round stock has also been used for this purpose. again it depends on whats allowed and where you need the strength and how much strength you need.
1 inch lug nuts are a bonus to.
you also could do both the above and gain even more.
where theres a will theres a way!

also check your toe in toe out if you havent already. if you have to much toe in on the right front it will turn the wheel too far and snap your wheel off. i no from personal experince i went through 3 wheels.
