Bent F Sport Wheel

Bent F Sport Wheel
Like the title says, I just had a new set of tires put on and the tire shop found that I have a bent front wheel. I had the dealer replace one (rear) when I bought the car as a CPO back in March due to a vibration. They noted then that this one showed high on the road force balancer but it was in spec. Fast forward to today and now it fails road force. The vibration is very slight but it's there.
What is is the best source to buy just one wheel? I've checked eBay but most are in much worse shape than the one I have. Mine has no curb rash or signed of damage.

What size and style is yours. Where are you located? I had an expensive Overfinch (Range Rover) 22" wheel repaired due to a similar issue like yours. Knock on wood, 4 years later the wheel is still true. Repair cost was $120.00 and was done in a day. Might try that if it's minor.

I had a similar experience last year with a bent rim and the Lexus dealership had a relationship with a local tire business that fixes them. It cost me $110 but at least the rim was true. Much better than paying $700 for a new rim. Good luck!

UPDATE: I am having it fixed on Thursday. $100 plus they are refinishing all 4 for and additional $300. Now I have to decide if I want to stay with the factory color.....any suggestions? The car is ultra white.
