Gorilla glue works very well on porous materials like wood and not so well on plastic though it will bond somewhat to rubber.

Also with the use of water; Polyurethane reacts or sets off with water. One of the reasons it's used is to help cure as well as in wood working to open the pores of wood to help the glue seek better adhesion.

Also remember to clamp the daylights out of the tires to hold them to the wheels. When the Gorilla glue starts to cure it foams and that foam is strong enough to separate heavy objects.

Try it and share your results here.
