Are you running stock or aftermarket rims? If you have stock, then i would shop around for aftermarket's - don't buy rims just because they're the only things he has in his shop.

If you have aftermarkets, take it to a shop to see if they can't fix the bends for you.

Ouch - i would say you're in quite a pickle. You could get the tires put on and hopefully cruise around on the stock rims until you get the replica's you want, but that could pose to be unsafe. Or, you could buy the Ronal R-38s, and rock those out for a bit, buy the RS4 replicas, and then sell the Ronal's.

The Ronal's aren't that bad, but they're not my cup of tea. I don't think you'll have a hard time selling them on here, just don't pay out the @$$ for them. Look online and try to get a good idea of what you should be paying for a R-38 tire and rim package and try to cut a deal with the guy.
