Default rim broke? help

ok guys so i started to get a bad vibration in my front end on the way home this morning, i thought maybe it was just a wheel being out of alignment or something of that nature, got home and started to check the rims and one of the spokes has broken right where it connects to the outer part of the rim, now i know this is not safe to drive on and needs to be replaced asap, my question is do you think it will be ok for a week or so not driving it to much? i really don't have the $ right now to get it fixed and or get a new set of rims so i am waiting for tax returns to come in so i can pick up a new set (that was the plan all along.)

do you think this can wait if i don't drive it much and am very easy on the car?

:tisk: i hate being broke

No. Very dangerous. Borrow the same size wheel from someone and swap the tire over if you need to.
