Default Bent Wheel - 2004 A4

Hi I recently got new summer tires mounted and balanced for my 2004 A4 1.8T Quattro and was told that my rear driver side rim is bent possibly from an accident from previous owner. I just want to know where I could possibly get 1 new rim? I searched online and they only sell them by 4's, can anybody suggest me a place online or locally I can buy 1 rim from? I live in Vancouver BC.


I heard you could get them repaired, but it's just as expensive as a new rim. Are all stock 2004 A4 1.8T rims 7.5 wide?

I will post the pic when I get home, but it doesn't look bent. My mechanic said his balancing machine used laser to determine that.

Don't you have a full size spare in the trunk? Just use that rim and put the bend one in the trunk as the spare. That's what I would do.
