Default Replacement Wheel

Has anybody got any advice on where to buy a replacement wheel? One of my back wheels has had an argument with a kerb, and I'm told that when spun up it's no longer true. Main dealer price is

I'd have the geometry checked as if you've hit the kerb hard enough to damage a wheel you've almost definitely knocked your geo out.

You need 2002-2004 wheels, they are almost the same design as the original wheels but a different finish.

Thanks, geo will be sorted out this week, and I will keep my eye on eBay if there are no better places. I had seen wheels that looked at first glance to be the same as mine, but were from newer cars and didn't know if I should bid or not.

So I will play it safe and look for 02 - 04 wheels. I have the part number, but the ones I have seen on eBay (where a part number is listed) had different part numbers. I guess this accounts for the slightly different finish then?

I know what you mean, but its probably safer to say 2002/03 wheels (as the 2004 car has the 17" wheels).
