Angry Cracked/Bent Wheels - Seeking Best Price on New Wheels

One of my wheels is cracked and two are bent. Lots of vibration on the highway. No longer safe to drive, but I have to drive it anyway. :/

I just want to replace all 4 wheels as inexpensively as possible. I am open to either using refurbished OEM wheels or new wheels from some other manufacturer if they are inexpensive and have a good warranty. I have seen some refurbs online for around $160.

I already have 4 fairly new standard sized tires, so I am not necessarily looking to change the wheel sizes.
Fronts: Nitto Motivo - 255/40/ZR18 92W
Rears: Falken Pro G4 - 255/35/ZR19 96W M+S

Thanks All!

$160 apiece is a tight budget for wheels.
What is your budget?
Any certain style you are looking for?
Chrome, silver, black etc.
Flat, lip, recessed etc.
With 255 rears I assume stock sizes or a hair over?

Budget: $800 Preferred. $1,000 Max.
Style/Color/Trim/Size: Something like the stock 7-Spoke mag wheel look of the roadsters is fine for me. Not looking to upgrade the look necessarily. Just want to feel safe on the road again.

I guess I just need a recommendation for a good manufacturer and then I can choose a wheel design from their site assuming it will fit. There are so many sites out there and I am sure that most of them make crap wheels.

Or if someone has a reputable place that they have purchased some refurbished OEM wheels for these cars, that would be fine too.

There seem to be several of those out there too.

Doesn't insurance cover the damage?

Try Wheelfire.com. It's a great site with lots of options.

If I buy a set, they will be tsw rotary forged wheels 18X8-8.5 and 19X10-10.5-11
Looking at $1200 + but also alot lighter and stronger than stock, less rotational weight = quicker response, better mpg etc.
Every 1 lbs of rotational weight equally 9-10 lbs static weight.

eBay has OEM new front rims for $136 and I saw one used rear for $186; doubt you will find them cheaper, but try the "Classified wanted or sale section" on this website. Often someone is parting out a car. You might find what you want.
