Default Curb Rash Wheel

I have a 2008 Malibu LTZ with the 18" 10 spoke wheels. Yesterday, I got alittle too close to the curb and put curb rash on 1/2 of the lip of the wheel. I dont think it can be repaired and i checked with the dealership on getting a new wheel, $400-500 just isn't in the budget these days. Does anyone know where I could acquire another wheel for a cheaper price or know of anyone selling wheels? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Contact a few local custom/rim shops, they should be able to buff/smooth/re-chrome (if applicable) for about $100/rim

+1... your from MD? Look up a guy called wheel doctor. They know what they are doing.

If he says it's not repairable your SOL. So otherwise it's fleabay, craigslist or wait until you actually do have the money. If money is tight, then I suggest waiting if it's not going to tear up the tire.
