I had run over a sizable pothole which bent and caused a leak in one rim on my 2008 RS4 with Titanium package, so I bought a replacement.  I ended up selling the car last year and just realized I still had this wheel.   Please read the following carefully and see photos.  Let me know if I can take any others:

1.  The source of the leak was a small crack on the inner bead/lip, only, and the rim was slightly bent.  I took the wheel to a highly-regarded local wheel repair shop and had the crack professionally welded, ground and finished.  Before this, the rim was first straightened and trued.  I have included before and after (weld repair) photos, as well as a copy of the repair invoice, in the photo gallery.

2.  There are two small (<~1/8") blemishes in the finish.  Close-up photos of these blems are included in the photo gallery.  Otherwise the exterior looks as-new.  These should be easy to touch up, i.e. mobile rim repair.
