Don't over-frighten pple can or not? Drive carefully at slow speeds for short distance until shops open Monday morning still ok. To play it safe, take our trusted SMRT trains.

Mits_jc 5th Gear February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 Cracks don't just happen overnight, they start off with micro-cracks which are unseen to the naked eye, then hairline cracks, then become what you can see now. Forget about repairing because you may not know when those micro-cracks you can't see will one day develop into a large craaaack when you're driving.

MacDuck 1st Gear February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 (edited) It cannot be repaired, rim is now structurally unsound. Read this thread, http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/104-5th-...lease-read.html Rims failed and caused a bad accident!
