Cracked Wheel...anyone have one they are willing to sell?

Hi All,
I am in the middle of a road trip with my 03 996 Cab, had a tire blow out, and somehow managed to crack one of my rear wheels (18x10, 5 spoke with raised spline, ET65mm). I figured I would make an attempt to see of anyone out there had one they would be willing to get rid of at a fair price. Or if anyone knows of anywhere that has reconditioned OEM wheels that would have this in stock. I am not interested in aftermarket or replica. I am in a bind and would appreciate any help anyone can offer. I have tried the usual places like RimPRO, Wheel Collision Center, and so far have found nothing.

Obviously the dealer is looking to be more and more my only option, but I just had to try and minimize the damage to my bank account first. :/

Thanks for any help that anyone can give me!

Thanks for the recommendation, they were one of the first places I tried after my preferred vendors.but the wheel cost plus shipping to where I am stuck (SC) put the cost at the dealer cost.

That is an amazing offer, but I would rather roll on something that I would own, as clearly I am not able to keep my own wheels out of harms way, I would not want to risk anothers wheel. :-)

Can anyone tell me the weights of the standard Carerra 996 wheel rear 18x10 ET 65 v.
the turbo wheel of the same size and offset.

I am asking to determine if I could use the turbo wheel in a pinch, as I have cracked a wheel while 1000 miles from home, and am weighing my options. And have located a turbo wheel for a good price.

Thanks!

I found a curb rashed (but still true and sound) wheel from a seller in NJ, and will be rolling again tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for the tips and offers of assistance.
