sometimes bailing to a motor is the smart thing to so.

this was one of those times.

It might be worth "stop-drilling" a small (say 2mm) hole at the end of the each stress crack. This helps prevent the cracks from growing longer and longer because the stress is spread out over a much larger area. It's a technique widely used in the repair of aluminium boat hulls and plane skins. It won't fix the problem but it should buy you some time.

I was going to suggest 'stop drilling'. I'd pull the tyre and tube and tape off and see if the cracks are present on the inside of the rim...
