Need replacement wheel
I slid into a curb this weekend and damaged my rear wheel. I haven't had much luck in locating a new or refurbished replacement locally or online. Any suggestions or links would be great! 18 X 9.5 painted five spoke (picture for example)

Looks like my previous OEM rear wheel ...
Not sure where you're located, but when I broke one of the rear OEM wheel spokes driving "exuberantly" through a pothole at 85mph+, I went to the dealer and got quoted $300+ for a replacement. I then went to the local MB wreakers yard and found one for much less. I ended up replacing the entire set because I found out that the front OEM spokes were slightly bent and my tire guru said that it most likely would break in the near future.
Good luck!

There are companies that repair wheels. On site repairs are limited to road rash. I prefer those that remove the wheel and tire. One in my locale there is a shop that can turn the wheel on a CMC lathe to duplicate the original striations before refinishing. They remount and balance your tire with a Hunter Road Force machine. $150.00, trued, turned, refinished, remounted and balanced. They also can weld if needed and if possible without compromising strength and integrity.
