Looking for advice on 19" front 19x8 10 spoke Infinty chrome wheel...(Looks like the "Rays "style)

I have a 2005 g35 coupe that I bought for my fiance' (So I never get to drive it)

My brother bent the front wheel, so I am told it cannot be repaired because it cannot balance. I had just bought two brand new rear tires with warranty, so I am stuck having to replace this wheel, which is rare and unreasonably expensive...
You cannot visually tell that this wheel is bent...

Does anyone know of anyone who can fix a wheel in this condition?
Or
I am looking to find a 19" wheel of this style chrome or even non-chrome if anyone knows of a single one 19x8 at a reasonable price...I will still have to buy 2 front tires...arghh!!!

It will look like poo, but she will not have to drive my gas guzzling truck (Which now needs tires!...crappy luck!!!)

Thank you all in advance for whatever advice you can give!!!

There are wheel shops that can fix a bent wheel, should be someone local. But if not just search the interent for bent wheel repair. I had one fixed by a place that was $100 including shipping it there and back a few years ago.

Also could look on forums, CL, and ebay for a used replacement whee.

Thanks for the reply... I was told by the rim repair shop that I took the wheel to that it cannot be repaired since it wont balance...

I will try another repair shop. As far as ebay and CL, it is impossible to find one rays 19x8 for under five hundred bucks... I found a 19X8.5 for a hundred. My thinking is that since this is a front rim, these are harder to come by since most impacts occur in the front of the vehicle. I am hoping someone happenst to have a single that they will be happy to get rid for cheap and help someone out.

l am also going to post a WTB in the classifieds. Ill keep my fingers crossed!!!

San DIego roads are not good to rims!!! :eek:

Usually a set of 19s are selling for under $800, you should be able to track down one for under $200.
