Well, of course it is. It's either cracked or entirely missing for nearly half its circumference.
Kind of a humorous story though. A kid I know who lives on the west coast and not being acquainted with salted roads bought this truck online in Massachusetts. He flew back there a couple weeks ago and drove this truck 3000 miles across the country. He noticed it was pretty Rusty when a couple of things fell off somewhere between Chicago and Minneapolis.
When he got home he put the truck on jack stands and removed all four tires.
He was a little shocked when he realized that he had just put 3000 miles on that rim. Maybe it was prayers that kept him going across the country.
This was on a Dodge Ram 3500 5.9 L Cummins, (not a dually).

Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Shucks no, just have them put more weights on one side and let her rip.

I've seen one like that - it was stowed up in the spare tire rack under the pickup bed ..
It collected road salt /sand for years ...rotted away

Wow


Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Just fill it full of slime and go for it, as long as you are not going out of the yard. JMO

The kid was wondering why it had a "death wobble" the whole 3000 miles; he thought it was a bad track bar.
Kind of convinces you of angels and/or Devine intervention.

The rim, na just look at the sidewall, with a tear like that, Put the song in his head....."the wheels on the bus go round and round"
Either it is an optical illusion ,but that rim has 90* bounced off a curb to put a woarble in it like that.

It is scary that someone would sell a vehicle with that kind of damage and let him drive a long ways home.
