Bent two rims and poped on 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).
Located in NY.

Re: You wouldn't happen to drive a silver 2.7T would you?
Nope, i'm a ming s8.
Fortunately i was able to drive off, there were about 15 cars stranded on the side of the road.

Thanks.
Sorry to hear about it. I hope you took pics or similar. if not call the Mass Public works dept. or whomever is responsible for maintaining the road and advise them that you'll be sending them a bill for the new rims/tires
