Cracked and broken wheels need to be removed and recycled immediately. Bent can be forced back into shape by a professional
>>
OP did you get those wheels from aliexpress?
>>
>>17292683

Keep driving on them, you'll be fine

They give you 5 spokes for a reason

Probably not a good idea to drive on these, I'll have to find a replacement one but am having issue going through the tsw catalog, these are a few years old..
>>
>>17292667
just superglue them bro
>>
>>17292781
Found a dealer nearby, will probably check with them in a day or so if they can order one of these...
>>
>>17292667

Maybe you should stop curbing your wheels like a nigger.
>>
>>17292667
I wouldn't even drive on that. Put your spare on until you can get a new one.

>Driving on anything but high quality snow tires in snow season
>>
>>17293234
No garage = no space for snow setup
>drive it like you stole it
>>
>>17293257
Keep them in your closet or something my dude, there are also places that store seasonal tires for you.
>>
>>17293257
If you can't afford/keep your car fit for driving in all conditions just sell the car and take the bus.
>>
>>17293333
I can afford it and the garage space and additional tires, rims etc... I'm just lazy and don't have the time to focus my week on my car issues
>>
>>17292667
>Aftermarket wheels
Got what you deserved fampai
>>
>>17292667
The rim looks fine to me. The spoke is knackered though. Nothing a bit of ducktape and cyanoacrylate won't fix.
>>
Did you try JB Weld?
>>
>>17292667
JBWeld, my dude.
>>
>>17292667
>Is this fixable
It is NOT fixable. You must replace the rim.
It is a road hazard and puts a lot of stress on the other spokes. If the others break, it will drop your car with a big thump on the pavement. You'll get a lot of damages from that.
>>
>>17292667
holy shit do not drive on that

If one more spoke fails you could legit total your car. Running with 4/5, the chances of another one failing are far, far higher.
>>
Weld it, but it's gonna look like shit.
>>
>>17292667
Dangerous as fuck, if you appreciate your life, change that wheel or as other Anon said, weld the crack (it's possible but it needs to be done by a professional who knows what they are doing).
Please Anon, I love you and I don't want to lose you :(
>>
>>17295726
Implying it's not illegal to run on welded wheels.
>>
>>17292667
fixable but sometimes cheaper to buy a new rim. dont buy any mags made/from china. if you survive the crash the reason is because they make them from the cheapest and lowest quality materials
>>
Jesus christ.

>One of 5 spokes cracked
>trash the whole wheel

Where were you when the 5-spoke meme was realized?
>>
>>17295726
I DONT KNOW HOW. I CANT EVEN WIPE MY OWN ASS, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU WANT ME TO WELD A RIM REEEEEEE
>>
>>17295726
I agree, unless you care that much about how they look. No idea how welded ones hold up, probably fine though.
>>
>>17292667
no repair shop will weld that, its part of the structural integrity of the wheel. If it was the rim or lip, welding is feasible.
>>
>>17296549
There are shops that specialise in doing just that you fucking retard.
>>
>>17296565
link it then homie.
>>
>>17296536
Welding it just makes the edges of the welds weaker. Crack win every time.
