How Much to Replace OEM rim on '03 C320

Anyone know how much it costs to replace an OEM rim on
'03 C320? The outer part of my rim has been bent in (about 2.5 inches).

I've heard that it can be fixed. However, I'm wondering:

1. Anyone out there selling original rim for good price?

2. How much dealership will charge for new rim?

Thanks,

New rims are a complete rip off. If you're replacing one rim, you should replace them all and go aftermarket. Your car will not only look better, you'll have saved money in the process. Here's an example: we had a Lexus come in with a bent chrome wheel needing replaced. Cost on the wheel was over $400. You can get some nice customs for that price.

Ask the dealer if they have any "take offs" from cars whose owners have bought accessory wheels. Those should be cheaper by half. Most aftermarket wheels are tacky IMO. But then I'm an OEM kind of guy...
