Ah that makes more sense! Bad luck on the wheel front there.
There's quite a few places that can repair buckled wheels, if you've got some spare time, I'd look into it. If you only noticed there was an issue because of the tyre bulge it's going to be tiny. My friend has had wheels repaired that were flat from hitting kerbs at 50+ and wobbled at anything over 30, so yours should be easy.

It went in to the local VW/Audi approved repair shop, as someone reversed into the other front wheel with their tow bar at work two weeks ago (I insisted on VW approved repair as they were footing the bill)... As they had it in the shop anyway for the wheel refurb and alignment check i got them to replace the dodge tyre with the bulge too as it was already with them, and this is when the spotted the buckle in the wheel.
Refurb'd wheel has been ordered now anyway, so will get that put on tomorrow. If a repair is possible on the damaged one, I'll get it done and sell on Ebay.... or just keep it for when the same thing inevitably happens to one of the other wheels.
