How bad is that?

Do you guys think it's worth keeping?
The crack (at the center of the picture) is angled around 45 degrees, 1.5 - 2 mm deep.
The rim is Wobler Profil 20. Since it came with all original Schwinn Circuit 1988 (full Sante group although pretty worn), I'm really hoping for 'yes' rather than 'no'.
Sorry for the quality of the pic. That's the best one out of 50 I took.
Would you keep it?

The picture? No. Back up some or get a different background. The camera is focusing on the floor and not the rim.

As for the rim, I agree with xenologer. Get out the butter because it's toast!
