What to do..

Wifey dented the front passenger side wheel. Unfortunately it was beyond repair . So I'm torn between selling the remaining 3 and buy a whole new set or should I go to the stealership and pay $900 + for a replacement.

The rim is chrome 18" 10 split spoke, 20 spoke total.

Any advise...

do you have a picture of the style of wheel that you need? I'm assuming its this style: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MERCEDES-E35...sories&vxp=mtr

keep checking ebay, I'm sure you'll find a single used or refinished one for a replacement.

Get a used one and don't tell anyone you bought it used, noone will ever know 15 minutes after you install it.

Used is an option... Just need to wait for the right size. 18x8.5 since its for the front.

If i cant find one by the weekend Ill just get a new set. Dont wanna drive around with a spare on it.

Thanks all...

I was just curious and did not really find many wheels on Ebay. Just in case I need to replace a wheel one day what is another good source for finding a used wheel. I have the 17TH 5 spoke standard wheels so I'm hoping if needed to find one it is not going to be too hard. Speaking of which, does anyone know if a standard 17" wheel will fut in the spare tire compartment?
