Bent Rim
I bent my front left rim hitting a pothole on the highway last night. It now has a flat spot in it that causes the steering wheel to vibrate at 50-60mph. I'm looking to get a replacement rim for this one. Do you guys have any suggestions on where to find a single AMG 5 spoke rim? It's the 17x7.5 rim for the staggered stock AMG rims. I just googled used rims and found a few for about $350 a rim used. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Leo

Depending on how bad the damage is, why not get it repaired or straightened? A good shop can make it so runout is minimal and the wheel is like new. I think this is your best bet as it'll be tough to find a place/someone willing to sell only one wheel of a set.
If you're bent (no pun intended) on getting a replacement, normal venues...eBay, CL, Google, MB parts sites or keep an eye on the classifieds section. Make sure there's the part number stamped on the back so you don't get a replica at an OEM price.
