    It is cracked due to being bent and a shop trying to straighten it. Personally I don't think I would even try to have it fixed... but if you like being risky, a good shop might be able to round it back out, and weld it up and clean it up and you would just have to watch it.

    Might look on Ebay, see if you can locate another 1 that isn't bent so you have a good set instead of 1 screw up.

    That small crack is very fixable, just find a place that does it.

    If you like the rims, I say its worth keeping them.

    They are.

    Those are pretty dam hard to find in good shape too. I'd say they are worth 200-250 to the right buyer maybe.
