How fast were you going when you hit the pot hole. Can you post pics? I think a new rim might run somwhere around 250$, ask your dealer. Check to see if it is covered under warranty (probably not).

I doubt it, the g-spider wheels are like $330 each. And $250 from one of the sponsors, forgot who. I doubt the stockers are more $$ than that

The stock wheel is around $250 each http://www.lexus-parts.com/partlist....19&ModelID=151
If the rim is not cracked you should be able to fix it. Ask your dealer for a recommended shop to fix it. It costs around $70 to $150 to fix.

If so just use that wheel so you dont have to buy a new one.
