it would be more beneficial to you, if you just went to a wheel repair shop and asked them instead of us trying to determine from a picture.

Very simple non cosmetic repair.. If its cracked YES they can fix it. They will weld it but it will look like crap cause you cant grind it down and make it look nice cause it needs the whole weld there for strength. 100bux roughly ..

I only know cause there is a local wheel repair that i use for fixes and polishing. So ive just seen the stuff that they had is all. I saw a few that they had welded and thats what they told me. They could probably grind the weld if its a small crack. I dunno that for sure though..
