Of course they are. Take it to an aluminium engineering shop & get them to weld it up & regrind it.

can depend cant it?

porsche rims crack on purpose when they hit anything at speed to save the suspension etc.... Friend cracked his rim and no wheel place would fix it - said he needed to buy a new wheel.

and if they are a cast or a formed alloy very hard to weld any cast metal.
