Well I did some investigating and here's what i found.

Discount Tires has this part number which it got from one of its wholesalers:
4261153011

Carson Toyota gave me:
4261153040


I called Bell Lexus in Phoenix, AZ and they also told me that these wheels don't come chrome from the factory - the dealer sends it out to get chromed. However, it does say "Chrome Wheel" in the description.

Its probably more cheaper to buy a new or used rim off of Ebay than to repair that bend.

Hey guys - sorry about the delayed replies. Well I went ahead and just purchased a new rim a week ago through this place oemrims for $255 incl shipping for a brand new wheel, which I thought would be easier than sending it somewhere, having it fixed and rechromed and getting it back.

I'm gonna file my claim with the state tomorrow now since I have receipts for everything so hopefully I'll get my money back.

I'll keep everyone posted....thanks.

P.S. how much would it have cost to fix the rim?

Prolly around there or more, but there the shipping and wait time that is the worst part of it.
