I wouldn't consider attempting to fix either, but replacing both... Check the for sale section, where typically OEM wheels and tires are available. GL.
Neither have I, until now.

Outside the patch guidelines.

Also, a rubber plug won't work on the wheel.

I am surprised you asked; maybe humor.

Well, you never know until you asked. Never had a puncture of runflat tire or wheel damage before.

That's terrible. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Hopefully, you'll get things squared away in a few days.

Call Luke at the Tirerack.

Tire Rack:
$489 + $15 shipping = $504.

House of Wheels:
$450 shipped.

Is that about the best market price out there?
Thanks,
