I have to strongly disagree with everyone saying "go get it fixed - no need to replace". Stress fractures in aluminum and its alloys are notorious and can easily occur after the original crack has been fixed because as a result of the original crack, the metal in the surrounding area has already been weakened.
Buy yourself a new wheel.
