as long as you do not intend to use the rim on the car anymore jb weld would do a nice cosmetic repair on it

No. Check a wheel shop in the Yellow Pages that specializes in wheel repair. They may be able to fix it by welding it. But J.B. weld will not hold.

Do you have a life insurance policy? Are the premiums up to date? If you don't, take out a policy right away and buy the double indemnity accidental death feature. You're gonna need it if you try to epoxy your wheels.

Absolutely not. It is very dangerous to drive with a cracked rim. If the rim comes apart while you are driving, the results could be fatal. Replace the rim as soon as possible and in the meantime drive on your spare.
go to www.car-part.com to see if there is a used rim available in your area.

Depends on where it is. If it's in an area where it will be in contact the tire you can forget it. If it's in the center, and you apply it on the inside, then JB will probably work for you.
