I have purchased refurbished wheels with no complaints from https://wheelsamerica.com/ for use with winter tires. Many bent and even cracked rims can be repaired and refinished with success. Check local forums for BMW or Porsche owners for recommended shops.

Actually mismatched tires are generally a very bad idea due to potential understeer/oversteer traction conditions — particularly with an AWD vehicle. Some msnufacturers also specify a minimum circumference difference to prevent damage to an AWD system, meaning replacing all four tires or shaving the two new tires.

This is what my H did. Saved us almost $1,000 compared to two new replacement wheels from the dealership.

You can also pick up new wheels from the dealership. https://www.chargerforums.com/threads/car-dealer-in-northern-virginia-had-wheels-stolen.380057/

. No you can’t.

It never hurt to try.

I filed a similar incident with State Farm. They paid but didn’t tell me they would record it as an accident. I lost my accident-free discount for 3 years.
