Cracked wheel

axztx · 08-24-2010, 03:02 PM

I found an inch long crack on the inside of my right rear wheel and had it welded at tire repair place. Is it OK to drive my car for a couple of days while I'm waiting for my new wheels to arrive.
I drive 90 miles a day and the f*in conti RFTs bent all 4 of my OEM style 159 wheels and also cracked one of them. Needless to say those RFTs are history. Replaced with 4 new DWSs.

Yes. It`ll be ok to drive as long as the wheel is holding air. Try to replace it as soon as possible though.
