2006 540I M sport front left rim suspect buckled. 18" rim running 245x 18 45 Greetings Guys i had an unfortunate incident going to work yesterday. (i am in the response team at work in case you are wondering!) i hit a pothole at around 120 K's never saw it till the last minute and it made a heck of a bang. i believe i have buckled the rim and probably need to replace. Its very hard to see as it hasn't cracked the rim but i think there is a slight bend (outwards) on the inside of the rim. initially when i bought the car it had a slight shimmer at 110 K and took to the tyre dealer and he balanced and improved it, he mentioned it had a slight buckle and that was the best it could be which was so slight that i found it accceptable, when you went over 110 it also quietened up again. Now there is more of the shudder at around 110 and gets worse as the speed rises. My question is Does anyone have one in good nick i can purchase or can we get one new? I would doubt you can repair but maybe someone might know about that also? If push comes to shove and the rim is straight i would be prepaired to respray if it is slightly marked, just want it straight! Attached is a picture of the rim as there are a few similar rims out there although this is the one that most of the m sport 5 series e60- e61 models have that i see for sale. i think the model number might be: m double spoke MV2 135M 18" wheel. Thanks for your help guys!
