Default Hit a pothole again.... How much will a new rim cost me?

I hit another pothole again coming home from work today. Damm those low profile tires... lol I put on the donut but from doing a quick look I'm thinking I'm going to be needing a new rim as well. Anyone have any idea how much a new rim my cost me for my 08 IS250 AWD? I'll be going to the dealership tomorrow but I'm getting ansy as to how much this might cost me....

DO NOT buy the wheel from the dealer...find one on eBay for hundreds less than the dealer.

Were you on stock 17"? That would have to be one HELL of a pothole. Like everyone said look on ebay and in the classifieds. You probably can get a full set for less than $500.

Well, it felt really rough, I know that... Hopefully it sounded alot worse than it really is... I'll go to the dealer, and if I do need a new rim and the price is not what I can find on ebay or something, I'll buy one online...

Thats why because of our low profile tires its wise to pick up the warranty.

Why did you need the spare? Did the car not roll right? Is it visibly dented?
