I got a cheap wheelchair for my disney trips and I notice the tier looks like it is coming off. would this still be ok to use I manly use it as a walker and sit in in some I do self push some. or is there any way to fix it. I will add this is a very used wheelchair just new to me. IMG_0908.jpeg
 
When the tire comes off you’ll be riding on a plastic spoke. In all probability you’ll need a complete wheel replacement; this is not like a bicycle’s construction. If you are going on a 1or 2 day trip I wouldn’t worry about it. Longer and I’d order a new part from Amazon.
For comparison, I used my wheelchair for one week while waiting for a repair.
Just to note: your chair is better made than then one ordered for me by rehab. Mine has no s/s metal parts.
