So much for trying to get an alignment done...
Least they discovered three things:

1. front frame is bent (made sense since i got the car from a body shop for cheaps)

2. front bearings are loose

and
3. my front right wheel is CRACKED

Right now, I'm not sure how to handle this. As far as I know I can just buy new wheels..but I'm kinda getting tight on money.

I'm guessing this wheel is dangerous as hell to be driving on.


Comments? Suggestions? -Thanks.

 

yeah, stop driving on it immediately, dont drive on it till its replaced.

bottom right of the picture looks like there is a chunk of the wheel missing too?

 

x2!!!

 

yah you're overstressing the other spokes and are at risk for a complete failure. You don't want that.

 

I'd say that #3 pretty much explains #1 and #2. Someone ran into / over something pretty hard. Glad the shop caught the crack before something bad happened.

 

replace it and get off that wheel before this happens!

 

i think you forgot to post the picture...

 

i can see it..

edit: perhaps you have to be a member of the website i stole it from, here I uploaded it from my desktop for all.

 

meh, that looks just fine, besides, the center hub is heavy, so the wheels will perform better now without all that unneeded weight

 

nono, the rest of the wheel is fine, Theyre just forms of curb rash. Didnt notice the way i took the pic made it look like a chunk was missing lmao.

But yeah. I'll calm down on the driving, no speeding, no rough roads until I can get new/used wheels.

If there's any good deals on these same style wheels, thatd be great
New tires..still wanna keep those.

 

post another picture up close of that curb rash, definitely looks like a broken chunk to me..

 

you cant get road rash where the "chunk" is missing. thats defiantly not normal, got a better pic of htat spot?

im serious, DONT DRIVE ON IT. if you think a new wheel is expensive, wait till this one breaks on you, then, if you dont totally wreck the car, see what the body work and new rotor/spindle costs to replace.

 

Not only is it dangerous for you, but for every other car on the road & pedestrian on the sidewalk.

Somebody PLEASE loan this guy a spare wheel & tire! Or at least put a temporary spare tire on it. That would be safer than that busted wheel.

 

i must say it deffinately looks like a chunk is missing, Do Not Drive on it At All, dosent matter if you speed or not. if you drive on it your just asking for problems. thats an accident waiting to happen. you can easily go in the classified section and look at exterior parts for sale, im sure youll find something thatll work for you at a good price. alot of people are selling camaro/firebird rims on here.
