I have the same pair on my F20, spit rims. I had them blasted, and then I primed and painted them. Put the tires back on and it is fine. Split rims, when properly mounted, are safe.
The horror stories you hear about split rims are either A.) someone did NOT pay attention and follow proper safe installation. B.) The rim was in poor, deteriorated condition. C.) Over inflation, which, BTW, is equally dangerous in a solid rim as well.
If your tire place is reputable, AND handles split rims, have them evaluate their condition. If serviceable, use them.
