Deformed Wheels Register

[FaisalJ]

I’m sure you could find aftermarket flow-formed or even forged wheels for less than the OEM replacements. The OEM’s will just bend again.

Ispiri do some reasonably priced flow-formed wheels.

The TSW Bathurst is a very well priced forged wheel <£500/rim. TSW do some other forged designs too

Went to check out a very slight vibration today... found out I had all 4 wheels buckled - 3 quite badly!

Booked it in to Lepsons to see if they can straighten them for £80+VAT a wheel... has anyone got experience of them or if having buckled wheels straightened?

Very nice!

I’ll see your Vossens, and raise you a set of custom forged rims!

I’ve enquired about 20’s - £3.2k for the monoblock designs, or £4k for 2-piece

I’ve had a buckled and cracked rim welded and straightened in the past - didn’t have any issues afterwards.

That wasn’t done at Lepsons, but I’ve had a couple of refurb jobs done there and they are very good.

Dreaded buckled wheels.
Owned my car for less then a month, when picking up the car (drove from Leicester to London) I felt a vibration in he steering wheel at highways speeds. I thought it would be your typical wheels balancing or alignment, and raised this to the dealer the next day. I had an appointment already at my
Local dealer scheduled for 3 weeks later. Fast forward to his Tuesday , I was told rear
Breaks are worn and 2 or 3 wheels are
Buckled.
I am very confident that Leicester Audi will sort this issue, but as a preemptive move I called Audi UK , to address potential future problems.
Wow, the ignorance.
How common is this problem? Those of you who have had this issue, how was is dealt with? Have you raised a complaint to Audi UK?
This is my 3rd Audi and I have owned many other cars, and have never had this issue.
Maybe we should all email the director of Audi UK at the same time so his problem is acknowledged ?
Any input or ideas are
Welcome

Thankfully no issues with my alloys yet, but from having read forums it may just be a matter of time till something happens..

Just found one of my 21” wheels has a crack on the edge of the inboard rim making it’s way outboard.
Has anyone had any success in getting Audi to replace rims?

Not bad, what exactly model of those rims and dimensions?
