Default Busted Wheel.....

Anyway, I was cruising along on the freeway today, enjoying the sun and fresh air. Thinking to myself, hey, todays a pretty good day. Yea, until the idiot I was following dropped a giant piece of wood from the back of his truck... Yea, I hit it. It pretty much felt like running over a damn elephant.
So, I pulled over, noticed my header had a nice dent in it, but didn't see anything else.
Got back out on the highway and my car just didn't feel right. Pulled back over to examine the wheel, and noticed a huge chunk missing from the inside of my wheel, and a little nit just hanging off.
How bad is it to drive my car with the wheel being damaged like it is?

you may lose air over time and your tire may or may not be out of round or out of balance.. i suggest bring the wheel to a specialist and have them spin them/inspect them for you.. if the wheel is irreparable then hopefully they are not discontinued so you can get a replacements..good luck.

I'm ordering a new one, but my main concern is will I make it to work and back without messing things up tomorrow morning.

i suggest putting your spare tire on if you are not sure. all wheel damages are different so i cant really judge unless i was there.
