Default Bent my rim!!!

On way home today my front driver's side rim met a huge pothole and bent pretty bad. The good news is that I have the Wheel Replicas 20X8.5 Magnum 500 wheels which apparently have been discontinued. I have been searching the web for 2 hours trying to find a replacement to no avail. Anyone have any idea where I can find a replacement? Anyone have an "extra"?

Any help would be appreciated. I really love these wheels and hate the idea of trying to find another set of wheels that I would like as much as these. Here's a pic of my wheels for reference

Your rim might be fixable...
I've seen rims being fixed that I would have thrown away without question, that came back perfect. And all this for $200 (body shop price).
Even I couldn't believe it.

If you can't find a replacement, check in your area and see who works with Insurance Cies. in collision cases.
Most bodyshops will have a business that they deal with.

Thanks Pascal. I'll check on that. Wondered if there was a possibility of repairing it and it sounds like it might be possible. Will definately check on this tomorrow.
