Stone punctured aluminum rim

Stone punctured aluminum rim
long story short: got stuck, lots of big stones in mud, when pulled out i guess a stone got between inside of rim and brakes. it punctured the inside of the rim, No wonder I couldn't find the leak in the tire. a 2 inch slit on the inside of my rim, Can I fix it? JB weld or something?
I have never heard of this happening.
I will put up some pics tomorrow. Don't want to buy a new rim right now.
Help please any suggestions.

here are some pics of the damage.
I just wanna say thanks for all the suggestions. This forum is a wealth of knowledge and helpful people.
I was thinking of calling around on Monday to see if any shops in the area can weld aluminum and what they would charge. I can't see it taking more than 5 minutes to fix if that.
But I will need to remove the tire.
I bought some JB weld so I might try that as well if I have no luck on finding a welder.
I would buy new rims but all the good deals are with free shipping to the states but they charge an arm and leg to ship to Canada.
Any tips on getting the tire off the rim.
