Cheaper OEM wheel?

My cracked wheel needs replacing (or is there a way to rework it?).

Called the dealer and it's ~$480. That's the rear (bigger) one, 18".
Called UnitedBMWonline and it's $460.


Ouch!

Does anybody have a suggestion on where to get a possible new one for less $$$? Thanks.

Look into the for sale section. When I needed a wheel I found a few for cheap and quite a few people offered to sell me just one for 150ish... Good luck.

When I was looking at a new set, I found the rears for around 370 I think. Still quite a lot but less than 460. That was from tischer I believe.

It it over CDN$700 for one rear wheel from the dealer when an indy shop wrecked it while fixing a flat! And the CND$ is worth more than US$!

Look on ebay and on this forum.
