From what I can see, that crsck goes well into that OEM hole. Yes...It will put you out of service, along with gaining you a big fat fine. It is on the steer.

On the steer, it makes no difference at all.
If that wheel comes apart, they won't care that you were bobtail or over gross, especially in CA.

How long has the crack been there? It shows as black, from the little I see, in the crack itself, so is fairly recent. Check it after a rough stretch of road and you will have an idea of how it is handling travel. CA is tough...but NM and TX can be just as bad.

Crack is recent. I-40 in NM was rough last time I went through there. I've seen Mexicans selling Alcoa wheels in Fontana for $30. Perhaps I'll have a chat with them next time I'm there.

Do you think this will put me OOS? It looks like it's just a surface crack, but not sure how picky DOT is.
