Mercedes-Benz SLK 230
My Wheels, they are ruined!

Hey guys, this is my first time posting on the forum and I'd like to ask for some help. I'm a 16 year old kid, spoiled and there's no doubt about it, but I beg you read this and give me some advice.

My grandpa decided to give me his 1998 SLK 230 to drive for my birthday, and everything was good until recently. I was going down a local road on the way to a nature center to help plant stuff, girlfriend in the car and everything, we go around this curve and there's a deer in the left hand side of the road. I swerve to the right and manage to nail the curb going 50 mph, it completely tore up my passenger side front tires and rims. Put the spare on and went home after doing the planting.

My parents weren't too mad since it could've been worse, but they asked me to find a replacement rim and find out what something like that would cost to have fixed. I'd searched through google a few times and haven't turned up with much. If any of y'all can offer advice or help me out a bit I'd be really grateful.
