Default A4 16" 10-spoke rim replacement cost

I had the pleasure of having a piece of debree from the road puncture my tire side wall at 65 mph which also took a chunk out of the "lip" around the edge of the rim. So I'll probably have to replace the rim, as I don't think it can hold a seal with a new tire.
Any idea how much a new stock 16" 10-spoke (2001) rim will run me?

I suppose I could keep driving on the spare rim and just buy a cheap rim and use it for the spare.
Any thoughts?

Default you can drive on the full spare, and buy one of the wheels you really want...that way

the cost of the wheels will be spread out....one now...four later...only thing is that you may not be able to match if you wait too long...

Default prolly a good reason just to spend that on a custom wheel(leave it in truck as spare)

most likely you wont use it....and then get the rest of them later

Default use the spare, and find some cheap scratched up rim for a spare.

I am sure someone here has a 16" rim (any style will do as a spare) that is scuffed or slightly bent, and they would be willing to sell it to you for $50-$75.

Don't go waste your money on a new sport rim.
