Wheels
I have a 2000 Quattro and the streets of NYC are killing my wheels. After hitting two different potholes that ripped the lining of my tires i decided to replace the stock Goodyear Potenza by Sumitomo's HTR+. When the tires were of the wheel i noticed the wheels are slightly bent...can they be repaired? or do i have to get new ones?
Thanks
Thanks

hey... <hijack> went to a small classic car show this weekend....
not a lot there, but interesting just the same. I thought of "His Emminence" as there was a red Pantera there. 
Some pics.... nothing spectacular mind you.<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/nansaidh/classic_cars/cambria_classic_car_show/">Cambria Classics show</a></li></ul>

Yes and No...
They can be fixed, but it really does depend on whether or not the wheels are severely damaged. Find a local tire shop, or better yet the dealer and they should help you see if they need to be fixed or replaced.

And, continuing the hijacking, did you go to Linn's while you were...
...<font color="003366"> in Cambira? Mmmmm. Tasty pies.
FYI, the Auburn and the red Healey were both Tupperware<sup>TM</sup> replicoids. Nice Caddy. And the interior of no Sunbeam Tiger ever looked <i>that</i> good when it rolled out of the factory. Wish you coulda snapped an exterior of it.
I assume things were good on the central coast last weekend.</font>

There are places listed in the classifieds in AutoWeek as well as EuropeanCar...
...<font color="003366"> and Import Tuner. An online search will prove fruitful as well.

nah, we usually hit the one in SLO.... just recently went actually.
love Ollalieberry anything. 
Their pot pies are yummy too.
I remembered that the Auburn was a replica, I think it was built in 77? Can't remember for sure. I thought I had taken more pics of the Tiger, I guess I didn't.
Okay weekend, how 'bout you? At least I got some more work done on the TT East tee shirt. Watched the Malaysian Grand Prix (taped) too (yeay McLaren! LoL).

Good weekend. Watched the Malay GP with a bunch of ACCD* chums...
...<font color="003366"> live with Hendrick's Martinis in lieu of the customary espressos.
Here in the Eastern Zone (time) <i>most</i> of the races start about 08:00. But Malaysia and Japan are late night affairs so 'Tinis were the order of the day. All the guys were in the lib staring at the purifying glow of Speedvision (yes I know it's not called that now) while the spouses were jabbering in the rest of the house. For three of the braver couples (i.e. childless) it turned into an impromptu champagne breakfast. It was a good way to end Saturday.
Speaking of restaurants, you been to Jocko's?
As far as TTE is concerned, I passed on the T-Shirt and opted for the cap. You subtly tellin' me I should rethink my choice?</font>
