Disco, do you just want to replace the stock wheel you had on there with another one? If that is the case there are a ton of remanufactured wheel places out there if you do a little searching. Should be pretty easy to find and probably less than $100 US.

Wheel arch, do a search of places that part out cars or Craigslist. Would thin that wouldn't be that hard to find used if you do some searching on the internet. Can get to be a pain in the **** sometimes, but it sure beats paying full price.

Disco, most rims are not marked with their size. You can figure out the rim height by simply looking at your tires and if you look, your tires will say something like 225/45R17. The "R17" is saying that your rims are 17 inches in diameter. If you still have the stock rims, then let me know which diameter rim you have and we can go from there as the stock rims are more than likely 7" wide as I recall.

If you have something different, then what you will need to do is get the tire off of the rim and then measure the inside of the lips from side to side and see what they say. That will tell you the rim width. For the most part, rims are measured in english units, not metric. Go figure. One of the last things to still be english. As for rim height, the best thing is to look at the tire. But if in doubt, measure the rim at the bottom edge of the lip and measure the circumference of the rim, then using the diameter of a circle, you can work out the rim diameter that way.

Disco, here are a couple sites I found after doing a quick search. There are a ton though if you look. Warranties vary and other than if there is a problem with the finish can't say how much good a warranty might be. If you hit a really big pothole or hit a curb they could say it's operator abuse. Or it might cost an arm and a leg to ship it back and forth. They aren''t that expensive.
