Cracked 06 Rim
Well, the unthinkable has happened. While driving I noticed a clicking coming from the passenger front wheel well. Pulled over, checked the tire, couldn't find anything. Kept driving, kept hearing the clicking. Pulled into a lighted parking lot, looked around the tire some more.
Looked down, saw a scratch on my rims. I freaked out thinking someone keyed my rims, then I reached around and felt the crack. Clean through on the spoke...
I can't blame the powdercoating, but I know Nissan will. I'm F'ed. Has anyone heard of this?
Anyone have one 06 Rim laying around
??
I'll post pics tomorrow.Edit:Pics on Post 13

DO NOT DRIVE ON THAT WHEEL
I had a 5 star crack like that on an older car and kept driving on it, the wheel finally broke in the middle of a sweeping turn. One of the lug nuts was sheared off, flew into the grass and set the median on fire.

I'll take a better pic of the tire when I go back home. There didn't seem to be any strange deformation of the tire or any heavy marks. I don't think I could have run over something. Also, the lip of the rim is still clean, so whatever happened, it wasn't caused by me hitting something big and sharp.
