Default Wheel cracked!

So...uhh. I blame Fast Five! It got my friends and I a little too excited, so we headed up to the mountains. I took a turn too quickly and well...I kinda clipped the curb.

Here's a picture of the only damaged wheel:



I'm picking up a new set of OEMs today, so hopefully my car will be back tomorrow.

Anyways, my question is: Do you think I'd be able to drive it about two miles or so to get to a shop, or should I not risk it?

Thanks!

I do, but I'm not really trying to put it on. I guess I'll just drive the mile.

I'm getting my new OEMs installed tomorrow!

I've seen people drive into my old store with wheels like that still holding air, and still driving... I wouldn't recommend it, but, it happens...
