I would not try welding to the wheel. The metal is so thin, even when it was bolted through both halves, it still tore through. Welding to just one side will soon fail.
I would torch the middle out of the wheel just inside the raised flower petal looking thing, grind it off flat. That will give a flat surface to work with.
Then have a circle of 1/2" A36 steel burned to fit just inside the flange of the wheel, and a clearance hole burned for the hub center to clear. There are companies that specialize in doing this type work, it is not expensive, the computerized machine does a very accurate job. Search "plasma and flame cutting". The order would be small enough to ship if none in your area.
Then go to a machine shop, have the lug bolt pattern drilled and chamfered for the nut taper, have the outer bolt pattern drilled.
Bolt the plate to the wheel with longer bolts.
That should be a permanent fix. Other option would be to find a heavier duty wheels.
