Default Crack in Wheel

Hey all,

I've got a 96 F-150 4wd, 130,xxx miles.

Noticed this on Friday...



Looks like there's a crack in the wheel (drivers side, front). Anyone experience this? I guess I am going into my local repair joint one day this week, was just curious how serious this may be. It's hard to tell from me looking at it and feeling it.

Additionally, do you know the size/dimensions of the wheels? I guess I may need to buy a new set (or just 1 to replace this one) and figure I may need to start looking.

Thanks!

Matt

They should be 15x7.5 rims.

Place near me has these:

Marked as replacements. I take it that's not the proper fit then?

it could be for some models, but i think most are 15x7.5, which is a pretty common wheel.

you can probably find one cheap in the junkyard. possibly dangerous to drive much on that though
