Default HELP!! Rim needed

I have a bent rim on my IS350. It's at Lexus right now, but they want $700 for a replacement (chrome stock rim). Can anybody offer ideas of a better place to buy it before it's replaced by Lexus?

I know, but we're in a bind because the car is in San Francisco and we have to drive it back down to LA on Thursday.

I had the EXACT same issue when I got my IS. I looked for the company that sold them on Ebay, which is the same company that distributes to most of the So. Cal dealerships. They were selling 4 on ebay, so I called them and they sold me 1 (I dont remember if it was $300 or $400). I drove to Anaheim to pick it up, but I'm sure they would be willing to ship it to you...

Have you guys ever had a rim dent with no other damage to the rim or the tire?

Are the "wheel numbers" they have listed the same as the part number for Lexus? If it's different, can someone post the part number for the 18 x 18 front OEM wheel please. Thanks
