Boll*cks! Hit a "smal hole" yesterday and bent the wheel! How much do think I have been quoted by Audi for a new wheel / fitting / alignment?

Maybe this can be fixed ? I owned a Panamera and had this incident on bought wheels on right side. Cost was 350 Eur to fix.

Looks eminently fixable, unless the outer face is damaged too, which is unlikely.

You can buy a whole set of 21s for £1000 on here (in parts classified at the moment). But I would be wary of used 21s given how frequent the problem seems to be. People sell them afor reasons other than upgrading to AE - -and most serious AE buyers keep their original wheels for resale with the car. No reflection on the ones for sale on this forum

Just caveat emptor on any set.
Or go 20s for day to day use and keep your 21s for days out
Mine have coped with awful roads and potholes and smooth as silk. And no reports from other users. Pleasant surprise after my BMW consumed almost one alloy a quarter
As I have said before, they are strong, light (10kg saving unsprung weight) and look much better in the flesh thanks to the dish. Not as mean as bendy 21s though

I have had the same but managed to get it repaired for £78 - had to send the wheel away and was returned in 5 days.

I can share who Audi Reading used if there is any need by anyone. Not certain it was up to spec to be honest. Still had a noticable wobble on return.
