THANKS AUDI! 4 (FOUR) bent 'celebration' wheels
 

The dealer had my car running while up in the air and I was SHOCKED at how bad the wheels were. They were wobbling so badly it's a wonder the car even drives.

Now I need to spend at least a grand on rims because these OEM pieces of **** are soft as butter and can't take regular roads and daily driving.

Nice friggin wheel choice Audi.

I know plenty here that have had similar experiences with the OEM celebrations, the class action law suit in Europe over the similarly designed butter soft RS4 wheels, A friends father with bent S8 wheels (also similar design). Blah.

On a lighter note, I get a nice massage every time I drive from the ****ty wheels.

contact AoA and complain but nicely.
 

then give up and scream at the rep and buy silver super l's

*high five!* mike, and anyone else that has bent celebs, read this...
 

call AoA at 800-822-2834, option 3.
speak to a service rep
make sure you have an RO (repair order) from your dealer stating how many wheels are bent
refer to reference # 30102928 (my case # currently)
and email me with your case #

hopefully if we can actually get a decent number of people together it will be a lot easier to get this resolved vs everyone doing it themselves.

no silver SL's, I'm just going to buy 40lb stealies that wont bend

how badly are they bent. My non eom wheels got bent too.
 

My recommendation is to go to a place that has this balance machine, <A HREF="http://www.hunter.com/pub/product/balancer/Balancer.htm">http://www.hunter.com/pub/product/balancer/Balancer.htm</A>. If it cant fix your problem then you need to get your rims fixed or replaced.

wishful thinking George. These were wobbling so bad while on the lift I didn't want to drive home
 

on them.

They are nothing but dead weight at this point.

ronal makes butter wheels for audi !

regular parkways and a small suburban town's roads
 

plenty of minor potholes and junk, but the wheels are so soft that it doesn't take much effort.

They'll probably blame it on an aftermarket air filter
