Default S2000 2005 cracked wheel

My wheel has a crack about an inch causing the tire to deflate (probably explains why I've been feeling like the balance is off lately too).

The wheel from the dealer is too expensive (about 650-750).

The questions:
1) Online used wheel - any companies you trust? (Is wheelsrims.net any good? It looks like I can order a wheel for $250, but it's unclear if it's used or new. partstrain.com has remanufactured for 190).
2) Any cheap deals on new (the lowest I found was 430 which is still kind of pricey & I think it had a minimum purchase of 2).
3) Any after-market wheels that are close-enough to the stock ones?
4) Any non-cosmetic issues with getting different wheels of the same size? I'm guessing weight might be an issue

I currently have 17-in staggered stock for a stock S2000 2005. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you for your responses

You can buy one new wheel from Majestic Honda for 465 shipped, not 650-750. just FYI. And that's the 17x8.5 wheel, the front wheel is about 20 bucks cheaper.

I looked on craigslist. Haven't found any in my area that are the 10-spoke 17" ones. Like I said, I found one that's 435 (probably with taxes & shipping comes out similar). It's still a bit pricey - I'm hoping to do it for < $250 (hence the questions about used wheels).

Thanks for the quick responses.

Thanks for the great find - bought it. Ebay reverted the shipping address & I didn't notice before I clicked purchase - hopefully the seller responds.

Actually, if I am not mistaken I have found that these wheels are available in an aftermarket version that looks like the OEM made by Keystone. I thought I saw on autozone's site that they had this wheel available as a special order item. Part numbers are ALY63817U10 and ALY63818U10. $189
