I had a similar problem but on a 19 inch wheel. Tried used websites and everyone claimed to have one but when ordered it came back as a bent wheel. I didn't need another bent wheel. I looked at aftermarket wheels but couldn't match it to OEM shape and spokesize. Had to break down and call the dealer. Dealer said no problem at all, just need $840 and a core charge of $100 against my old bent wheel. I told him I just wanted a regular wheel not the gold covered special wheel. He said that was for a regular wheel. I paid it. No choice. Pure robbery.
Now I will tell you I run all of my tires at 38 pounds of cold pressure now to avoid bending the wheel in the pot holes.
Good luck.

UPDATE: I I had two rims repaired (cracks welded and rims straightened). Went to discount tire to have tires replaced under their warranty. I watched as they balanced the wheels with a little nervousness. It appears the rim repair was done well as there were no problems with the balancing. The car rides as well as before. At 175 per wheel (would have been 125 but crack weld was extra) turns out to be a good deal so far. Thanks to all who weighed in.
