Can't believe it - "curbed" a wheel :(

Check your dealer. I curbed my wheel and the dealer had a wheel guy on site that fixed it for $150, which was about $75-100 less than if I would have taken it to a wheel reapir place.

They're okay. Performance-wise, I couldn't be happier. I guess I'm just old-school, and like a little belly on my sidewalls. I've always felt that the rim sticking out beyond the tire looks cheap, like you couldn't afford the proper size tire for the rim. I've not had any problems, at 2900 miles, but I can already see them starting to wear.
My next set will likely be the Continental CrossContact UHP in 265/40R21. I've heard about problems and noise with the Dunlops, but only good things about the Continentals.

I can second the approval for Continentals. I have had the DWS AS on two separate vehicles and the are one of the best UHP A/S tires I have ever had the pleasure of driving; along with the fact that they came with the 50K Road Hazard Warranty included. I am sure the CrossContact UHP is also a winner.

Audi dealer will have someone that can refer you. My 2012 Q5 had wheel curb coming off of the carrier. I noticed Audi had this mobile wheel repair service that came to the dealership. They put the tire on a giant lathe and smoothed out any imperfections - then assumed they painted?? When I got the car I could not tell it was repaired. Absolutely smooth rim to the touch.
