Sorry for the bad luck. It's possible to repair these, but I'd always be nervous at high speeds. Agree with advice above -- search ebay and for sale listings on this site. Even if you have to pay trans-Atlantic shipping it's got to be cheaper than your dealer. Invest in a phone call to talk to the seller and get pictures of the rim. You might have to accept some curb (kerb?) rash. But there is a thread on this forum for repairing rash.

Hey -- it may be cheaper to book an off-season round trip to NYC or Chicago and then bring the rim back in a box in lieu of luggage!!
