If it's done properly it's not an issue, get it wrong though and you'll have horrible balance issues.
I believe it's also legal in the uk, but you need to inform your insurance company.

Hi Phill,
Could you let me know who is doing the banding on your rims, as I need a set doing too. All the company's I've tried can only handle 17" rims - bah !! 6 mm steel seems perfect and the welding in your pictures looks excellent.
Cheers.
