Broke 500 miles and 1 tire!
Can't believe it, I had my C55 for less than a month and I already busted a flat on my front left tire. I really hope the wheel is not bent cause dealers saying a new one will cost $850 and it would take a week to get it.

Not sure why you said it is $850?

I busted it on the Belt Parkway here in brooklyn, new york. There are sections of road on here where old pavement meets new pavement. They are not smooth transisitions, kinda like a 1 inch ridge, I hit that at only 55mph and busted a flat.

btw-its funny(but not unusual) how people like you join a forum and make their first post something like the above, rather than something informative or helpful. Are you a disgruntled ex-C32 owner?

You can check my post, I hit a curb and need a new rim as well. My dealer told me $1100 and that it would have to come from the motherland. AMG has not released that wheel to the aftermarket according to Luke at tirerack.
