Left front rim is bent.

I'm not sure how or when it happened, but I'm getting a vibration fron the front of my car.

Took it to the dealership, thought maybe it was a control arm assembly. Turns out the left front rim is slightly bent, and as such, is causing the vibration.

I'm not interested in getting 19s or anything like that. Anyone know where I could find or buy 1 front OEM rim for our car?

Have you considered getting it repaired? It's a much cheaper alternative ~$80-100.

I've had luck getting rid of that vibration by re-balancing the wheel.

Call Tucker Tire, on Forbes Rd. in Laguna Niguel. Their number is 949-364-3225. They can recommend a good local shop.

Just a long shot here; could the shop that blacked out your wheels have done something to it?

I used this shop for my bent wheel http://www.cjwheelrepair.com/ and I couldn't have been happier. Wheel was back to within factory spec and the car is smooth as silk at any speed. Quick turn around too. My repair was $108.
