Where are you having the wheel repair done? Who else on the list has 
experience w/wheel repair? I ask because today I discovered that not 
one but *two* of my Ur-Q 15x8 Ronals are bent (sorry, Sarge). They 
aren't bad enough that I notice it (they're on the rear), but I'm glad 
I know this as I've got them up for sale, and thought they were 
perfect. The guys at the tire store claimed they (the bent wheels) 
were responsible for my 55mph vibration, but mysteriously, there was 
no vibration when they mounted them. I told them to rebalance them,   
as there had been no vibration originally, vibration appeared, car 
went back for wheel balance, vibration disappeared. So now vibration 
reappears, shop guy says: "Balancing won't help- you got bent wheels." 
I say: "Balance 'em anyway."  Lo and behold: no more vibration! I hate 
mechanical problems, but I *really* hate incompetence!
However, I saw the wheels wobble, so who knows wheel repairers?

P.S. I'm still looking for four '91 200q wheels. Anybody?
