hi all,

looking for a pointer or advice asap as its my daily driver.

OSF wheel has overheated a few times - whiffy brake smell and i've rebalanced the tyre pressures but today I noticed after a week of not driving the same thing has happened and I've got hairline cracks in the black alloys.

is this a do not drive under any circumstances or drive carefully and get it looked at urgently?

thanks in advance - other wise car is tip top, 2010 86,000

I doubt the alloy is cracked but it may be cracked paint due to heat from what sounds like a seized caliper, up to you whether you want to drive it slowly to a garage, if it's got that hot maybe don't
