Replica OEM Rims Help

Pretty upset at myself today....I hit a curb pretty hard while driving in the rain and blew the tire and tore a pretty big chunk out of the rim. I know better and I'm already pissed at myself for it. Anyways, does anyone know of a site that sells replica OEM wheels for our cars? I'm looking specifically for the 18" 5 star model. I'm taking it in to the shop on Wednesday to see if there's any underlying damage to the suspension but would like to keep the cost down as much as possible right now.

Thanks for the help!

I'd also get your alignment checked. Usually hitting a curb will throw things off depending on how fast/hard you hit it. Good luck!

Sorry to hear about this. I know how frustrating that can be. Have you checked a local rim repair shop first though? They can usually repair most bent or damaged rim. Many of them have mobile shops that come right to you. Dealership contract with these folks to come in usually once or twice a week to work on cars they have on the lot. I just got a quote of $185 from the dealer to repair a rim with some really good curb rash on it. Would be cheaper if I found the vendor myself.
