If you are really bent on getting the exact metalurgy use a bit of an old budd rim as filler rod. Do not use the split ring that steel is unique to the split ring.
Personaly I think the mig would be fine- do not cool down the weld with air or water. Most rims that are joined with weld are welded together with a wire feed at the factory. I have no idea if they use special wire or heat treat the wheels afterward.
take care.
