i've been at school and my mother's been using the car. i have a 06 tC. apparently she dented the rim to the point where air is now leaking from the tire constantly. imagine my surprise when they drive up to see me and i see that the front left tire is at 15 lbs!!!!! i immediately put air into it and now that i'm home for awhile I have been putting air in every day.

question is where can i find stock rims and if i am able to use the same tire or do i have to purchase a new tire also? dealer is charging like +400 for new rims and that seems a bit excessive... O.o at this point i might not even mind stock rims and i may just end up getting whatever i can find that fits because it's pretty dangerous as it is and we only have one car to rely on so we need to get this fixed right away. Thanks tC lovers
