Ebay will have the wheel, pretty common there. Make sure the description is spot on and the pic is of the actual item. Zoom in on the pic too.

As for A/M wheels, price ranges and quality vary greatly. OEM wheels are meant to take a beating. If you can get on cheap enough, maybe stay OE and research aftermarket more thoroughly. Don't repair the OE one though. More likely that it won't be straight ever again. Close, but not straight. And the paranoia of chasing the inevitable wobble, noise, etc, is not worth it.

G/L is not worth it.

Are you looking for an F-Sport 18x8 wheel? If so, I can sell you one that is structurally sound (though it has some curb rash) . PM me if interested.

Go mom. The tires are fine and she'd like to swap them over to the new wheels. Anyone have any suggestions for a set of decent looking 18x8s (we're looking for something under 200 per wheel, as it wouldn't make sense to spend more money than the wheel repair would)?

In the alternative, does anyone know where I can find an 18x8 5-spoke OEM wheel for something less than an arm and a leg?

The car is Starfire Pearl over Flaxen. Thanks everyone.
