Default Need help finding a wheel

Yesterday I was driving and managed to hit some black ice on a turn. My car ended up spinning and hitting a curb cracking my rear drivers side wheel. I managed to limp the car home safely. Later I called the dealer and found out that the rim was gonna cost me nearly the $400. For that price I can nearly pick up a whole new set used. So my question is where is a good place to buy Oem or even replica wheels for a cheap price. I've looked on AmericanMuscle and managed to find this wheel.(http://www.americanmuscle.com/anthra...heel-17x8.html) Has anyone ever bought these? Are they almost identical to oem?

What should I check out under the car is see if I might have tweaked anything suspension wise?

Heres the car the first day I got it.

and the aftermath...

Try the classifieds here on the forum and ebay. Many, many people sell their stock wheels cheap.

Yes hit up classifieds. NJ3 sold me the same exact wheel for a very good price, and it got here fast. In fact, he had two at the time. You may try to PM him to see if he has the other wheel. I give him 100% feedback.
