Yep, I really don't really care that much I guess.
Not realistically repairable... and no way is one of those worth putting the effort and money into it anyway.

Yes, it could possibly be fixed. You could find the proper alloy and weld in a new rim lip, machine it, then re-temper the aluminum (welding will ruin any temper that it may have had).
No, I'd say definitely not worth it. Those wheels are very inexpensive. Often lower than what one could get for the recycling value of the aluminum. Recycle that one, buy a used one, and have good safe wheel.
Or... make some bead locks? Might still be a good wheel for that.

OK, that's kinda what I figured. It's shame, the crappy phone pic doesn't do the rim justice, it's in very good condition, which is really rare around here. I have 2 sets of these rims already but they are all pitted and corroded.
