Cracked wheel

The other day i decided to wash my car, In the process i noticed a 1/2" to 1" crack on the inside of the wheel near the lip. My question is do you think i can Tig weld the crack, I have access to a Tig welder and don't want to spend $200 on a wheel. The wheel is from a 99' Grand Prix 16", It's a aluminum wheel not sure if it's cast or not?
 


I'm almost positive they're cast, they don't look machined. Chances are if you know what you're doing then yeah, you can probably weld it up. I've only MIG/stick welded before but I know aluminum is hard to weld and can only be done with TIG. Make sure you clean the surface really well first. Good luck!
