Yes rims can be welded BUT whether or not they SHOULD be depends upon the type of damage sustained .
Assuming the rim is aluminum:
Mr Ron is correct ,AC Tig is the best way to go , Mig maybe would do the job but might not penetrate well enough ,it depends upon the skill of the welder .If the rim is thoroughly prepared and all oxidation removed ,preheated and restrained during welding then there should not be any problem .
Durafix would be a definate no no in my book .
