Have you asked a body shop if they could weld it? I think you might be better off checking junk yards for another one.

Read in my first post where I said no one in my state has one. Ive been looking all day.
One of the other welders my grandfather works with is a very good welder and Im going to check with him this weekend. If anyone can do it I feel he could.

Im going to find out, see if we cant drill a hole at the end of the crack (to stop it) and weld it up. If we can my only concern is balancing it.

Well heck, a new one is under $100 from Ford... I was told it was around $300.
EDIT, somethings not right with that price. Its in the computer wrong. It is $290...

That crack is repairable. Crack repair, plus a rechrome, might be costly though.
You might dig online for places that will exchange your damaged wheel for a "new" one from them. That might shave some costs for you.
