Default Rim Cracked Aluminum

I have a aluminum rim that cracked and wont hold air. The thing to stop debre behind the disk caught onto the rim and broke the caliper off the knuckle and the caliper dug into the inside of the rim. It wont hold anywhere and there is never a matching rim anywhere. What would be the best way to fix this. Weld?

You could try having it welded. However considering the beating ATV wheels are subjected to, I'd try really hard to find a replacement. What type of wheel and size is it?
