Default New rim

Wheel to keep this short i bent the rim on my Audi and now it leaks and doesn't hold air. So my question is were i can get a cheap replacement rim for my car. It is a 5 spoke rim 16x7 on a 1999 audi a4. If anyone knows any good websites or has one for sale let me know. Also i am located in mid new jersey if that helps.

oewheelsllc.com sells them. I've replaced all but one of mine and got them all on ebay.

Did you want to replace just the rim itself or the entire wheel? If you just wanted to replace the rim there are shops that can repair the rim of the wheel.

well you can either find a set of used ones with tires for about 200-300 or you could pay about 80 without tire for one on ebay.

You can have it repaired by a mobile wheel guy. Check these guys out.

Usually runs between 100-150 to unbend a wheel, provided it doesn't need to be welded.

look into the classifieds here and on Audizine and even Craigslist....you are bound to find a proper replacement much much cheaper than the cost to repair it.

well there is a crack in the wheel were the bend is so i don't think repairing is a smart choice. I was looking at ebay and the ones they were selling are off wrecks so i dont know if i can trust the quality. Also i just replaced the tires so i dont want to pay more money for tires. any other suggestions for sites
