Wheel Replacement

Pittsburger · 04-07-2014, 07:33 AM

I hit a pothole on one wheel and have a bent rim? (or bent edge of the wheel: photos to come)

I'm concerned about how the tire stays on the wheel.
So I'm thinking of replacing the wheel. However, it was a cheap wheel and is no longer sold. $60 per wheel on tirerack sale.
These are my winter set of wheels.

Can I replace this wheel alone with a different type of wheel (since this wheel is no longer sold) or do I have to replace all four wheels or replace the wheel in pairs?

I have a 328xi 2010 coupe.

I'm asking because I know wheels don't all weigh the same. So, I'm assuming if I replace this wheel, I have to replace them in pairs at least. (Therefore same wheel type per axle).

Thanks.

Contact a wheel shop to see how much it would cost to fix.

X2 most wheel/tire shops can repair wheels. We charge $50 a wheel for repair.

As it has been mentioned, depending on the severity of the damage, you may be able to get it fixed for pretty cheap.
