advice please

So after somehow curbing my stock alloy on my Legacy I went to my local Subaru Dealer to ask how much it would cost to be replaced. Of course it really was no shock of how much they want for one. $275 +tax.

So what should I do?

I have checked the classifides for some...checked e bay and all that, but guess since the car is still so new that no one is selling them. Should I bend over and take it up the *** and just buy one from Subaru? Buy new wheels? or just live with it?

Just curious what you guys think.

If you don't have money for rims and tires now live with it.

Don't bother with the dealership. too much money.

Well, I have seen some Legacy GT wheels go for sale, but not too many. Honestly, I'd not worry about the wheel for now, and purchase a new set of wheels when you have the money. Truthfully, one wheel being curbed isn't hurting the car, and it probably isn't even that noticeable to most people. Just live with it for now, and replace your wheels with a set you really want, once you get the money.

I've got a non-curbed LGT wheel I'll trade with you, but it'll cost you $270.

But, in all seriousness, I'd just get some wheels you like, unless you really like the stock wheels. You will have a tough time trying to find just a single wheel. Most people will want to sell them as a set of four.

Honestly, there's a number of killer deals on rims right now. How bad is the wheel? Is it just cosmetic?
How's the tire?
