Buckled rim

[Victor Creed]

Hey guys i have a buckled rim on the rear of my car it's pretty bad can feel it at multiple speeds and especially going uphill. How long would it be safe to drive on as i have a new rim on the way but it wont be here for a week plus any help would be useful!

Just throw the spare on....not worth the risk, not to mention could cause damage to other components

Yeh if you have a spare, use it.

Pending on damage as well, tyre may be damaged.

Check what happened to mine
Wasnt even a major damage to wheel, which the wheel been fixed now anyway but was re-rounded with the repair.
The impact caused the inner side wall to let go.
Noticed a bumpy ride to work on the motorway and had to reduce speed, was worse on way home but went via normal roads and wasnt able to change to the spare as the socket i had was cracked due to me lending it to a wheel shop months prior.

The socket was cracked but you kept carrying it around...
