There's not much tyre bead left in that part of the wheel so trying to drive it and you could be in for a very rapid deflation.

Also, the tyre took the impact with the kerb so that'll definitely be fooked. And, if that isn't enough, if the police see it, you'll be fooked too.

Throw it away and start again. Get the geometry checked pronto.

Basically, do what Ben said [-X
Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or hump it, piss on it and walk away!

Yer, I am gonna put the spare on before i leave work. Hopefully stopping by fast eddy's for a quick check. The car is going to be leaving me though soon. I have seen another one for sale which i think i can afford.

I think you may be ok on the suspension front, but the alloy must have taken a whack to damage like that.

Agree with all the comments so far, you'd be a fool to drive on a wheel like that !!!
