Call your local scrap/junk yards. They are sometimes called automotive recyclers. They may have something that you can polish up and make look like new.

Craigslist has worked wonders for me in the past.

I have had good luck with Discount Tire. They have a source for used wheels. It's someplace in New Jersey. Reasonable prices as well. Or try these guys.

I just bought a brand new rim off eBay for 123 bucks including shipping.. The guy bought it to fix his a that was in a wreck and they ended up totaling out his so I reeped the benefits!!

A quick search on EBay brought this one up for decent money

Those rims have the small indentation at the edge of each 'spoke', I know there is another version identical without the indentation - since I've got those. Much harder to find those I suspect. However I'm not in a position to sell mine just yet, sorry (some of the chrome plating is starting to peel in the center anyways).
