Never. And fire doesn't melt aluminum wheels to a liquid state...
A bonfire with no accelerant can reach 2000F+ flames.
1220F is the melting point of aluminum.
If the fire is bad enough, it absolutely could do that.
Depends on how hot the fire gets - I know a lady whose daughter was murdered and set on fire in her car.
She keeps a melted bit of aluminum from the car in her memory garden.
Looks like liquid mercury, frozen in a squiggly line
Nonsense, a good hot wood fire will melt aluminum easily. I’ve done it myself.
Give it a try and record the temperatures.
Umm, where did you get this bit of logic? Aluminum wheels, usually have rubber tires on them. Rubber ignites at 600-700 degrees, and then burns at upwards of 1,200 degrees. It's not usual. Ignition and burn are not the same thing.

I stand corrected.
