A blowout waiting to happen

06_warrior · 09-24-2013, 07:07 PM

Order another one and have that one repaired and kept as a spare.

JCunningham · 09-24-2013, 07:08 PM

good luck getting a tire shop to mount a tire on it.

Ok what's more worriesome:

The wheel?

or

The tire?

Personally I'm more worried about the wheel. BUT it's a forged wheel, which I hope makes it stronger and durable for me to use while until I get my replacement. I hope that by avoiding the highway/freeway and limiting my driving,

The tire is something I will try to have replaced this week. I mean, it's going to have to be replaced anyways.

Again, if ANYONE knows anyone with a spare Forgestar F14 wheel, size 20 x 9, I will be more than happy to take it! 35 mm offset.
The finish doesn't matter, as I can get it powdercoated.

the wheel is the biggest problem. I think the tire might be fine. The wheel has been compromised. It looks cracked and even if its not cracked it is weekend. All it could take is a bump and it might blow out. Not just deflate. if your going fast enough or next to some one it could cause a accident. If they notice the wheel wasnt damaged in the accident your screwed. You might end up killing somebody.

If it is not leaking or vibrating you are probably OK just to drive to work as long as you don't have to get on the freeway. Just watch your speed.

Non-repariable. Damage too close to spoke apparently.
