Default Best source for replacing OEM wheel

After putting new tires on my car, the tire guy shows me a bend on the inside of the rim. I can either get the rim fixed or buy a new one (or used one). I think I can get the rim trued for about $100 to $150. Can I get another rim for that?

Default Yeah, but a single wheel is hard to come buy.

Every now and again, you'll see one in the classified. I think I saw one the other week...go check. If not, just get the wheel repaired. It's less hassle.

3rd vote for getting it professionally straightened, just make sure a good place does it

Default I have one with slight rash on it. Just don't really want to deal

with shipping the heavy bastard. I mean its only worth $125 or so anyway with the new Pirelli so the shipping hassle makes it problematic for anyone not in NorCal.
