I am posting this message here as well as the A6 board because I figure that they are probably more s4 drivers with aftermarket rims than A6 drivers.

I was driving on 93N in Boston right before the tunnel last night and hit a pot hole (couldn't see it until the last minute and then couldn't swerve without causing an accident)...checked my rim this morning and it is bent. Not too bad, but slightly bent out where the impact occured. I am bumming big time!

Questions:
1. Can I safely ride with the bent rim until I put on the winter rims and tires, or is that a safety hazard? It does not appear to be leaking air.

2. Where can I go to get the rim fixed in the Boston area? Any estimate on cost?

I appreciate the help. Thanks.

Running a bent rim will most likely run to cupping/ruining the tire on it. Use full size spare?
