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

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.
