Default BBS wheels 18 x 8.5 for 2003 XJR R1 (X308)

So I was in the tire shop getting new tires installed. Found out, one of my BBS rims is bent (not round anymore). Likely from hitting a nasty pothole. I have looked online for a new (read used) rim . Found only 2 options (one brnad new, one refurbished) - $750 USD plus shipping. I also phoned several used parts dealers across the US and Canada with no luck. Does anyone have a source that I could get a used wheel? I am in Canada so supplier would need to ship here. Below is pic of what I am looking for.

Find a wheel repair shop in Canada. Less money and probably truer than a used wheel.

So, here's a thread on some damaged wheels.... https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...nquiry-179844/

One didn't repost in the same thread, but did here. So here's the finished product by a wheel repair company (Post 3885).... https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...84298/page195/

Thanks for the advice. Found a shop in Halifax Nova Scotia. About 3 hours from me. Fingers crossed that it goes well on the repair I still can't believe how rare the 18 inch BBS Milano wheels are!
