Fractus

I live in New Brunswick, Canada, and we are going through a ridiculous storm, and while making a necessary drive, my S4 got a little snakey on me and clipped a curb, and broke my rim. First time having to replace a rim, I am looking for the best place to buy a replacement. I searched for it and didn't have much luck. Any help appreciated!
From what I understand, they are stock, 5x114.3, 18inch 235/40/R18
Here's some pics of the car/damage.

Damn. That looks painful, and I'm sure that sounded terrible.

I have a spare that I might be able to offer up. I have an entire set of those wheels I took off my S4 as well.

Yeah it was a gut wrenching experience, right now I have my spare installed which is an all-season tire and the traction is quite a bit less on that one. I am still looking into my options. My tire didn't appear to be damaged during the event and was still holding pressure when I took it off the car, and I deflated it on purpose hopefully preventing the tire from permanently taking that form.


I am very interested in buying a rim from you if you are offering. I don't know where you live but shipping these things tends to be pricy. Are you in Canada by any chance? And how much would you charge for a rim?

Hitting hard enough to chip that big of a chunk out the rim is pretty hard. I'd inspect the suspension on that side just to be sure nothing bent or is out of wack. If you decide to keep the tire, just keep an eye out on any bubbling on the sidewall.
