Default Cheap place to buy wheels

Hi

I need to find a cheap place to purchase a standard WRX02 alloy wheel, my current one it buckled/warperd.

I only need one, ive tried advertising on here, but no-one has any, i guessed it would be tricky to find a single secondhand wheel.

So where is the best place to get a reconditioned/new wheel from, i dont want spend too much, i need the wheel PDQ as i drive the car everyday, so god only knows what damage i am doing to it whilst the wheel is warped.

Thanks in advance.

M (gutted about the foota)...........

Ive tried e-bay, people are only selling sets of 4. Tried loads of scrappers and no -joy. I really dont want to pay £174+vat to get one from Subaru. I am toying with the idea of buying a set of 4, and the selling the 3 that i dont need seperatley.........

How much do you reckon a single wheel is worth, and do you reckon there is much market........

if only there were 3 more people in my situation
