Default wtb wheel oem for ls-430

I posted in the wheel marketplace and the general marketplace in these forums. Did I post correctly and what are my chances of finding the wheel I need? I just can't handle the dealer prices!!!
Are there aftermarket dealers that have the identical factory wheel? Mine are the non-chrome 5 spoke wheel in the 18x7.5 size. Looked at Tires&Wheels and on car-parts.com.
Thanks,
David

If you need a single wheel:

- Check ebay. If you don't want to buy on ebay, you can just use it for shopping and contact the vendors directly.

- Contact your local auto parts recycler. The good ones are networked nationwide and can locate parts for you. Here's my local source, especially for GM parts: http://www.schramauto.com/

Your chances of buying one OEM wheel on Ebay or in the classified here are good. OTOH, your chances of buying a set of OEM wheels in 17" or 18" here or on Ebay are practically zero, as there are like 20 people trying to buy wheels for the winter.

Buy a brand new set of four LS430 OEM knock-offs for $509 total. I've bought two full sets from these guys in FL. and haven't had any problem with them.

Pretty good deal - I paid 300 for a used set of four OEM's off of Craig's List this weekend.
