I hope your being sarcastic... That rim is F****ed and needs to be repaired ASAP! It has lost it structural rigidity with that crack/chip... I can become much worse if its not taken care of soon!

Tire looks warped in that picture already, go pickup a cheapo rim or have that one repaired.

Jesus christ, you drive on that? Where do you live? I want to be sure I am not on the road when you are.
