I just repaired a rim like that on a tractor that is used alot a couple of weeks ago with fiberglass. It only took about 15 minutes and cost me next to nothing because I had some old resin and mat. Wire brush or grind the inside of the repair area several inches into good metal and apply 3-4 layers of cloth or mat. Put some masking or duct tape on the outside to keep the fiberglass from sagging through the holes. Sand the cured glass to remove any snags. Drill a new stem hole. Small amounts of glass and resin should be available at an auto parts, department, or marine store. A repair like that shouldn't require more than 3-4 ounces of resin and a square foot of mat/cloth.
