I would not try welding to the wheel. The metal is so thin, even when it was bolted through both halves, it still tore through. Welding to just one side will soon fail.
I would torch the middle out of the wheel just inside the raised flower petal looking thing, grind it off flat. That will give a flat surface to work with.
Then have a circle of 1/2" A36 steel burned to fit just inside the flange of the wheel, and a clearance hole burned for the hub center to clear.

Bolt the plate to the wheel with longer bolts.
That should be a permanent fix. Other option would be to find a heavier duty wheels.
