Chunk missing from Rim.

[allworknoplay]

So last night i hydroplaned and hit a curb, body has no damage but rim lost a good chunk, is this safe to drive in the time being? I am ordering a new set from AM soon.

Oh god no
Park it or get something else on there.

Ticking fucking time bomb for it to pop off.

Also if it did that to the wheel, you need suspension checked out for bent/broken things probably

I'm impressed its holding air like that

 

[fdjizm]

Slow the fuck down, you done fucked up.

 

[weather man]

Hell no! That thing is an unbalanced mess! Hook up your dash cam if you do though, should be a great vid!

^This...

Impressive it holds air? Yes, but I wouldn't be willing to roll the dice on who/what you hit when it blows!

My exact reaction. Not everyday you see a section of wheel lip missing and the tire is holding air.

Wouldn't chance it at all.

Only because it is not my car, totally drive it. Just get video and see how far you get.

 

[Scrat]

All i see is weight reduction

Exactly. Get a new wheel like now and don't drive on that one. Like Wes said, its a ticking time bomb.

THOSE

No matter what, you should not be driving on that wheel. Put the spare on.

If that bead decides to unseal as you go around a corner, it will likely spin you and your car will look like that Shelby Razor wheel!

I had that happen, broken area was much smaller then yours
bent stock panhard bar and ended up finding out a year later that I very slightly bent an axle flange.
Jack the car up put a good rim on it and let it idle in 3rd while you watch the rim and check for any runout (I had very little but it still was bent)

I did the same thing when I had a blowout in my 2001 Bullitt. One bad tire turned into a set of deep dish Bullitt rims... the Ex-wife didn't find it too funny...lol...
