I believe the weight difference isn't significant enough to screw anything up

 

sorrry for the delay, my 1st gen went ape **** on me in the brake dept. caliper locked up on me. got to get fixed. pic tomorrow.....PROMISE!!!

 

Yeah Wade it looks like it is the later style that cracks. The date on that wheel is 8/93, definetly from a 94.

How many miles on that car?

Jeff
2/92 build date 93 R1

 

I have 3: Two are stamped 92 and one is stamped 93.

Here's the problem, they are all identical from the rear. They are the first ones that maxcooper posted

 

Thanks guys. I definitely have the cracking style.

Wade

 

Thanks for the pics maxcooper

noon: that really sucks.

The construction idea sounds like a good plan, although you can probably get a used rim for $100 or so on this fourm

 

I drove around on my cracked wheel for 750 miles

I was worried the last 450 of those miles. The wheel was still fine when I took it off (as in no noticeable problems while driving)
Stupidly enough I didn't take any precautions while it was cracked and I drove in my normal style with a few high speed runs and even the 1/4 mile track for 4 runs!!
I just didn't see how anything could happen since it was cracked but the spoke was still supported. I think it would take a lot for one of these wheels that is already cracked to make the tire blow out.

Any way I got a used 94 wheel from the forum and I feel normal again and my car is happy again.
