A little sheet metal boot will fix that for another ten years.

The easy fix is to cut a similar piece out of another bad rim and patch it into this rim. Make the patch big enough to get rid of the worst of the rust inside and put you a new hole for the valve stem. A little grinding to dress the weld down and you won't be able to tell it is patched.

I am using one at least this bad. Since the tube is old, I'll fix it when it goes down, probably on the highway!
