Cracked Front Rim - W208 17" Factory AMG

Looking for some ideas on where I can go get another front rim? The crack is on the outer edge of the rim (can't be seen unless the rim is off the car, they guy told me it can't be fixed. Don't know if it's true or not?

I would prefer an original AMG rim but I'm open to replicas as well. I may even look into new rims all together but don't want to go nuts with spending $$'s.

If you buy off of ebay, BE CAREFUL, you can get a great deal or the wheel equivalent of street vendor oakleys (IE, utterly fake and fragile)

I have that wheel and I'd be willing to sell it to you. I have the whole set of 4. Two of four are slightly bent but the other two are in perfect condition. You will need to get the tire yourself, however.

Or, if you'd like to try and save even more money, I can sell you one of the slightly bent wheels cheaper and you can have it straightened yourself (usually costs about 100-150 to straighten a rim). LMK if your interested.

If not I will most likely have the two wheels straightened myself and sell the whole set on ebay together. If anyone else reading this thread happens to be interested, LMK, I will be willing to cut a crazy deal on all 4 wheels (unfix) and a resonable deal if you would like me to fix the rims myself. Like I said 2 of 4 are only slightly bent and the other two are perfect.
