Depending on where the cracks occurred, they may not be repairable. Ive read that if any of the cracks or damage are around the hub area, it cannot be repaired. Refinishing a curbed, scratched, etc wheel is about $100, so Im guessing repairing a cracked one might be several hundred each.

That looks pretty bad - I would suggest talking to Ric at Precision Rim Repair. Perhaps get them to take a look at your rims.

About $100 for each rim to be fixed, but that depends on were you go, and a tire it's all with what kind of tire you want to put back on.

That sucks... That wheel is garbage bro. There are many companies that sell the Audi replica wheels. I worked at Rent N Roll and we sold those as winter sets pretty cheap. Maybe you could order 2 wheels and 2 tires... I estimate $450-500...

**** Happens... Winter Beater FTW.
