Default Cracked wheel, local place?

Well, looks like after less than 20K miles of actually easy driving on my C7 GS/Z07, one of my rear wheels got the dreaded crack and gave up the ghost. This has me pretty messed up and could use some advice.
  • With the CO roads starting to look like the surface of the moon and the factory wheels evidently having a tendency to break (thanks, GM!), is it worth it for someone on a budget (thanks, economy!) to replace all the wheels with flow-forged wheels like these? Is there enough of a market in the area to sell the other three factory wheels to try to recoup?
  • Is it better to just shell out $725 for a new one and hope for the best? (The GM dealership wants $1,100 + core for a new one.. not including mounting/etc).
  • Are there other/better options, ideally locally that I could be missing?
Thanks in advance.

I did not think it would be worth trying to repair, I will look into that avenue as well. Thanks for the tip!
