Default need tires wheel advice quick on damaged s4 avant

Hi all.

For the past 5,000 miles I've been dealing with a shake in my s4 avant. Mech says tires out of round but live with it till worn out. Oh yeah, and 1 bent rim. Last night hit a pothole got a flat on front pass tire and bent rim. Oh yeah, and I got a 200 mile round trip I HAVE to do on Sat. Its a stock 2001 s4 avant, silver. Choices..

1. Find a place to fix 2 rims, buy 4 new tires, get 4 wheel alignment. How am I going to get this done by Sat am? Est price $1300

2. Mailorder rims/tires get alignment, deal with stock tires later. Est price 1600 (those 18' rs4 replicas or something else?

Need help from my audi brothers/sisters. What should I do and where should I do it. I'm located in Miami and between dog sitting, dentist bills and business trips this could not happen at a more inconvienent time.

If you have an idea in a hurry, then just email me at jvoss@jvossman.com

Thanks all

Default Figure $150/rim starting to fix them, tires depends on what you get

You can get 4 all-season tires for probably $400 installed, or you can go all the way up to $1000 for 4 tires installed for high performance ones. A quattro alignment should be done at a dealer and runs $150-200'ish (I think).

Edge Racing is down in your area, see how they can help you out.

Don't bother wil mail order, you'll pay out the *** to get them by Saturday.

If you luck out, someone down in Miami can lend you some wheels.

Default I would check with edge Racing. They're down in your neck of the woods....

If you lived up here, I'd let you use my 17x8 Fliks for your trip.
Good luck,

Scott
