How I repaired my friend's "curb rash"
#23
Hmmm. Interesting.
I actually never knew this. I had a local guy tell me that my cast bbs wheel couldn't be repaired because if, the question I just asked. It's only cracked similar to what that wheel with the broken lip is, it's also bent. I'm not sure of these are things to be factored in or make the process much different than what you've explained.

At the same time, most wheels on the road are cast, and are of alloys with some elasticity in them (I know you know this, just saying it for others) which does reduce that chance of cracking.(as well as the heating process before truing a wheel to help reduce the chance of cracking even more)
The cost to replace a wheel with a new one is many times, if not always, more expensive then to have repaired.
