I would have the wheel checked to make sure there is not a casting flaw of some sort (XRay). Then take it to a company that can properly repair aluminum rims (check yellow pages or ask tire stores recc'd). There are always ads in the back of the enthusiast magazines like Autoweek, Motor Trend, etc for this service. I had an off course excursion about 3 years ago and took a chunk the size of 2 fingers out of the rim and had it repaired with no visible damage for less than $150. I just do not trust JB Weld to hold a wheel together in a car I would be riding in.
