best thing with having aluminum wheels is their advantage to being able to use beadlocks.. never have to glue a tire again. But of course if you can make them for the wheel...a good glue is your best option.

For gluing rubber on aluminum, use the black CA. It has rubber in it, which helps the glue adhere to surfaces other than plastic and fingers. The clear stuff will break loose fairly soon.
