Is an OEM Wheel the only way to go?
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/43622/5spoke_02.jpg"></center><p>I missed a driveway by 6", and dented my wheel (see pics). I'm looking at $225, for a new Michelin Pilot, and $635 (dealer's price) for a replacement 5-spoke wheel. Anyone have any advice, bedside driving tips?

Look in your area for places that repair and/or sell refurbished OEM wheels. >>>
Here's a link to such a place. I've never dealt with this specific place, never even heard of them before. Just giving you an idea that these places do exist.<ul><li><a href="http://www.wheels-and-rims.com">http://www.wheels-and-rims.com</a</li></ul>

Except when they close early on a Saturday & you are trying to pick up your wheel.
Their hours say til 2pm...I arrived @ 1:45...doors locked, lights out. I'm pissed.
