Messed Up My Wheel

Messed Up My Wheel
I hit a curb and messed up my wheel. I currently have a 2013 Honda Accord EX-L. Does anyone know of a good place to purchase a wheel. Only place I found was $200 on amazon.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The website says it's reconditioned. I was honestly going to search junkyards, but got tired of googling...

Can't say I know anything about that particular place, but reconditioned wheels can be pretty good. A lot can be done heating & rolling the wheel similar to it's manufacturing process. Then repainted.
Atlanta to Detroit is too far for a visit & scope the place out (unless you have relatives in the area). But you can probably find out how long they've been in business. And these days, if there were many pissed-off customers it would be all over the internet.
Or google "reconditioned wheels" to find other competing places.

Maybe I should've asked how bad you messed up your wheel. Curb rash might just be cosmetic, and the rim is not bent at all. In that case you can even repaint it yourself, depending on just how perfect you want it to be.
Is the wheel painted? Or clear-coated? Shiny metal under clear-coat is really difficult to "paint".

The problem is I hit a curb and put a hole on the inside of the wheel so it's no longer capable of holding air in the tire. I'm not sure if there's another solution to it, but I just assumed I would need a new one.
I'll post a pic later today...
