I bought a set of RS4 reps through the group buy here about 2 years ago (has it been that long?). Anyway...long story short.....one of the wheels is pretty out of round...traced it back to a large pothole that I hit a while back. Didn't think much of it until the other day when the tire lost pressure. Took the wheel off to diagnose the problem, realized that the wheel was completely out of round (almost egg-shaped).

I know there is no way for me to buy a single 4x108 RS4 rep from any retailer, so I'm wondering if its possible (and cost-effective) to fix the bent one? Or should I just scrap the idea and get a whole new set (maybe speedlines or cabrios?)

TIA guys.

Thanks for the help. I feel better already

my local discount tire(s) charges $125 per wheel, but of course they dont do it themselves, they take it to a local wheel shop, they always have em back within 24 hours...already had 2 of mine done.

sweet. How badly were they bent in the first place? I'm hoping mine isn't beyond fixable

one of them was bent by a pothole, not bad at all...but the second one was bent by a ladder, some a-hole dropped a ladder on a freeway exit ramp, completely unavoidable, and right at the crease of a hill at night....that one had the inside lip hammered pretty good...the lip was bent roughly 3/4" inward..they did a great job on both wheels...including the refinishing of the surface.

There's a place near Albany NY in NH that has a good rep.

I can't remember the name offhand.
