I'm curious, what did you replace your wheel with? (I also own a C43)

My plan was to ship my wheel (the one pictured) to a place in Florida that repairs them for $200 they're known for doing an amazing job, very much like the original.
Then I found the same original wheel on a car in a junkyard here in LA and bought that for $300 including install. So I have the original wheel.

Are you referring to Allan Gunn? agl.com? They quoted me much higher to re-wrap the C43 wheel! I see their auctions on eBay for $345 or $395 to re-wrap and the pictures they provide don't look as good as I would expect.

I've contacted 2 other recommended shops and they are both in the $450-$500-range to re-wrap and their results are spectacular.
