I have about had it with this car, And have realized why I have loved leasing for so long. Anyways,

Anyone know a good wheel repair place or person? Bought new tires today and had them installed. One wheel bent....I can live with that for a few months but the other wheel is cracked on the inside right new the lip where the tire seats. About 1/2 inch long, but big enough to leak air now that the seal is broke. Riding my good ole 50mph spare now! I guess I would like to NOT buy a new wheel to replace it and rather just repair it. I have heard that repairing is just delaying it breaking again but at least it could ride me through winter hopefully. Im open to any ideas here to get me back on the road with as little as I have to spend (yes, I know its an Audi and there is a cost of ownership, ive about paid double for the car in the last 6 months tho....coming up on new turbos and a few other problems as well that warranty wont cover.....need a break)

Thanks! I guess I am basically looking to hear feedback on repairing a wheel, buying a single wheel, or any other options...
