Default Bent two Rims and Poped One tire

While driving on the Mass Turnpike. I had the one tire replaced and found out that both rims on the passenger side were bent, the front more severly. Now my car shakes when you go past 40mph.

Any suggestions on where to buy the stock S8 2003 rims which wont break the bank, or where to buy other wheels which will fit the new set of tires I just bought for $300 a pop. (245/45/18).

You can find the stock S8 rims on eBay every now and then. The stealer charges over $500 ea.

Rim and Wheel works in Waltham Ma can straighten the wheels for you at $150 each. Had the A4 done this year. Audi wheels bend easily.

Default Can the rims be trued / repaired?

There are shops that specialize in that sort of work.
