Is this wheel rim too worn out for use? - 10/26/20 08:26 PM
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).
