Urgent question about wheel
I'm currently stuck in Kentucky. I need to get back to Chicago tonight. My tire wasn't holding pressure, and I managed to find a tire shop that was open on a Sunday. They pulled it and found a small one inch crack on the inside lip of my rear drivers side wheel (Forgestar F14). I just had the tire replaced because there was shoulder damage. The crack has been heat resined and it is holding air no problem. With the crack being in a non structural area of the rim, is it safe for me to make the 4-5 hour drive home at about 55mph?
I'm under serious pressure to get home tonight as I have to pick up my daughter and make an important meeting tomorrow. I appreciate it's not ideal, and I will be replacing the wheel as soon as I get back. I just want to be sure I am not risking the lives of myself and my wife. No idea how long the crack has been there.
