personally i would find the right glue to bond it with then weld the seam together.
it wouldnt be as straight forward as that, you would need to do a lot of prep but it would more than likely do the trick. it was bonded to make the thing in the first place. despite what most people think, you can fix most things. ive welded up big bastard cracks in frames and you would never know they were once there. my feelings would be the same for this wheel. that its fixable and once done (if done properly) you wouldnt know any different and it would be structurally sound.
since its the rear it wouldnt be catastrophic, would probably start to snag on brake if youre running one or you may feel its slightly not right if it starts to come apart. front wheels are the danger.
