Default One wheel?

Hello,

I got a reoccuring flat and Firestone told me my rim was bent and that it would need to be replaced. So,

Any ideas where to find a good price on a single stock rim? (It's a 96)

Thanks,

Adam

Default You can have a bent wheel fixed at a wheel shop real easy...

...a good wheel shop will also have refurbished replacements in stock if it is badly damaged. I know of a place in Newton Mass. that has every oem wheel imaginable, refurbished, and in stock.

Default Would be worried about trying to bend/beat a cast alloy wheel

Forged alloy, you can reshape. Cast is rather brittle.

Default No need to worry, it is a common procedure for wheel repair shops...

I've been driving on cast alloy S4 avus wheels since last winter that were fixed/refurbished by a local wheel repair shop in Newton Mass. (Rim &amp; Wheel Works). They did a fine job, as good as new. Cast alloy is not a problem unless the wheel is cracked in certain areas...see link.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/news/01/wheelrepair/content.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/news/01/wheelrepair/content.shtml</a</li></ul>
