THANKS AUDI! 4 (FOUR) bent 'celebration' wheels
The dealer had my car running while up in the air and I was SHOCKED at how bad the wheels were. They were wobbling so badly it's a wonder the car even drives.
Now I need to spend at least a grand on rims because these OEM pieces of **** are soft as butter and can't take regular roads and daily driving.
Nice friggin wheel choice Audi.
I know plenty here that have had similar experiences with the OEM celebrations, the class action law suit in Europe over the similarly designed butter soft RS4 wheels, A friends father with bent S8 wheels (also similar design). Blah.
On a lighter note, I get a nice massage every time I drive from the ****ty wheels.

*high five!* mike, and anyone else that has bent celebs, read this...
call AoA at 800-822-2834, option 3.
speak to a service rep
make sure you have an RO (repair order) from your dealer stating how many wheels are bent
refer to reference # 30102928 (my case # currently)
and email me with your case #
hopefully if we can actually get a decent number of people together it will be a lot easier to get this resolved vs everyone doing it themselves.

how badly are they bent. My non eom wheels got bent too.
My recommendation is to go to a place that has this balance machine, <A HREF="http://www.hunter.com/pub/product/balancer/Balancer.htm">http://www.hunter.com/pub/product/balancer/Balancer.htm</A>. If it cant fix your problem then you need to get your rims fixed or replaced.
