Finding a new wheel

[Coffeedrinker95]

I have recently did the thing I thought I'd never end up doing... I rubbed my right rear tire on the curb leaving work. It's not bad but I can't stand that there is road rash on my wheel. Anyone know where I can find a new wheel for the car? The closest Honda dealer told me it would be $1200 (USD) to replace the wheel and I'm trying not to pay that much. Can anybody point me in the right direction if possible?

How bad is it? Do you have a pic? I suspect a repair and refinish would be a cheaper that a rim replacement, if it's just cosmetic. I scratched a black rim once, and a quick repair was to touch it up with black paint, in a pinch, a sharpie might even work.

I say find someone who is selling a use set and see if he will part it out

Get on some of the "FK8" groups on Facebook. I've seen a lot of owners parting out as a set or individually.

I don't have a pic but I will at some point tomorrow to show you. It's very minor but knowing me, I stress out even over the small stuff. I might have to go buy some of that touch up paint because if I can't find a replacement rim then I'm not going to pay that much money for a single rim at a dealer. Thank you for the amazing idea!

Yessir! One guy in California was selling each for $650 shipped.
