I repaired my wheel in my 68.I wasn't going for show looks just decent to drive.I first cleaned the wheel with some steel wool.Then I filed/ground out the cracks.I filled them with an epoxy from an industrial supply(IIRC it was a 5 min version),I tried to keep the epoxy level to the surface since it's probably gonna be harder then the wheel plastic.I filed/sanded it smooth.Since I was repainting the interior to gray(from Fawn/sandewood) I again cleaned it well with steel wool and hung it up from the center.I used brake cleaner but would hhave used paint thinner or mineral spirits if I had of had it on hand.Once I was sure it was dry(I left it overnight) I sprayed a mist coat and cover coat of rustoleum.The next day I hung it the oposite side up and did the same.The I wrapped it with an old school leather wrap.It's been painted like that for about 8-10 years and looks like it did the day I reinstalled it.I did get lucky and find a standard original horn button at a swap meet.My interior is getting just rough enough that I may respray it again soon and I'll probably redo the paint and wrap on the wheel.I don't daily drive it now but did for at least the first two years after I repaired it.
