Brand new Explorer ST. Noticed this on the rim after getting the vehicle home. Has anyone else experienced this or seen something like this? And no, did not hit anything. Trying to work with Ford but getting the run around.
Hey everyone,
I recently bought a 2015 Audi A4 Quattro Komfort AWD (automatic) with 100,700 km on it. The car also has an extended warranty until November 2027 or 170,000 km, whichever comes first.
I’ve been dealing with a vibration issue between 65–80 km/h. I got the wheels balanced and the mechanic told me both front rims are bent. He moved them to the rear and the vibration has reduced, but he recommended I eventually repair or replace the rims.
I got a quote of around $300–$400 CAD to straighten both rims. On the other hand, I’ve also been considering just buying used OEM rims, or even new OEM rims which are around $600.
What would you recommend in this situation?
Is rim straightening reliable long-term, or is it better to just spend a bit more and go for OEM wheels instead?
Would appreciate any advice or experiences from others who’ve dealt with bent rims on Audis.
Recently got new rims for my bmwx7 and I’m trying to find the correct tire to fit it , any recommendations would be appreciated .
The rims are from ferrada and forged .
Hey all, been building my mk1 Audi TT to replicate the car shown, never been able to figure out what rims it has, and from the photos, it seems to have different offset front and rear with an apparent 255 rear width and 235 front, I’m trying to keep mine squared at 235 all around but would love to copy these if you guys could help identify them. My favorites at the moment are BBS RGF and especially the BBS CH012, I think it matches the body lines well. Specs I’m looking for are 5x100 17x8.5 or 18x8.5 with offset of somewhere like +30-35. Thanks!
I know the pictures are of only two, but how much would a full set of these be worth? Having a hard time finding prices of these in this size.
EDIT: These were ordered 10 years ago, does that make any difference in any way? They are practically brand new and never mounted.
Thinking about adding these cool rims to my Honda civic!! I like the look a lot but wanna get some other rim guys opinions ?!
Was planning to change these for styling 32 wheels but im not sure what ti do… these look sick too but a bit big for the z3 imo (18”)
Is they tuff? Was tossing up between these and BBS FI-Rs in silver. Also curious as to what anyone else whole have chosen.
Hello, I’m looking for some rim recommendations for the 2006 gto. At the moment , I’m looking for some silver wheels that are 5 spoke or tri spoke . If anybody has some recs that I could check out that would be greatly appreciate.
I have some severe break dust or something and I can not get it off. Any suggestions or help is much appreciated.
Brushed silver finish is hands-down the perfect surface treatment for these wheels, it really brings out the bold, muscular vibe.
I’m still blown away by how sleek and clever its minimalist design is.
New color finish done! Just built a set of brushed rose gold wheels. What do you all think of this color?
Wow just look at real 10,000-ton forging in action 🔥
That spark moment when the press lifts up is absolutely insane!
It’s just super hot aluminum particles and mold release mist catching fire once the huge pressure releases.
This heavy forging tightens the aluminum grain structure perfectly, making wheels way stronger, lighter and more durable.
😲Curious to ask the crew here:
Anyone compared forged vs cast wheels IRL?
How much stronger are they? How much weight can you actually save?
What’s the real difference for daily driving and performance builds?

Anybody have an idea on what the name and bolt pattern are for these wheels? Was told they’re 20 years old and there’s no information online about them - thanks in advance.
Someone had told me about rim skins. But I haven’t been able to find them. This is a 2025 Corolla hybrid and apparently they reused Prius hubcaps and alloys.
