Default Replacement of Factory Wheel

I was told yesterday while having new tires installed that my right rear wheel was slightly bent on the interior. However, the shop was still able to balance the wheel and tire to "0". Should I repair or replace the wheel? If repair, where can this be done? If replace, where can I buy a replacement factory 15" 5-spoke wheel for a 1998 Audi A4 2.8?

Default I had same problem.

Wheel will balance, but, it will "jump" slightly going down the road. As long as it is on the rear you won't notice it much. Tire will wear faster thought.

Replace if you can afford it. Wheels America will repair it correctly if you can give up the wheel for three days.<ul><li><a href="http://www.fixrim.com">http://www.fixrim.com</a</li></ul>

I think the best answer is to buy a new Audi S4 (haha). Otherwise, give me a buzz...I have the name of a wheel repair shop in Central Ohio.
