I wouldn't chance it I've seen them crack and break when mounting. I'd try the local junk yards and find a replacement.

No way I would drive on that,not to mention a reputable shop would not touch it.Think of the people/families around you when it blows at 60 mph. Last edited by Ron U.S.M.C.; Jul 20, 2011 at 05:32 PM. Reason: add info.

i've seen wheels worse than that hold air, problem is, how long will it hold the air?
I would not use that wheel, have it repaired, or find a replacement. Dont drive on it.
