Default Help finding 7 spoke "sport" rim for '98 A4?

One of the rims on my '98 A4 is dented just enough that it causes some vibration especially at higher speeds. It is the 16" 7 spoke version. The mechanic says it's fine to drive on, but I want to replace it. What dealer/shop would folks recommend for an affordable replacement? Ebay? Any specific suppliers? Other than this, the car is great! 145K miles and going strong.
Thanks!
Ken

I found ebay to be the cheapest ($150), but it shouldn't be too hard to search with the "Audi Links" section in the A4 forum. All it takes is a little time.

As for specific ebay sellers, just read through the feedback. I've made over 75 purchases with no problems thanks to this wonderful system. I usually shoot for 98.5+ feedback, but individual comments (and seller responses) are more important.

A local import wrecking yard is the first place i'd look. 2nd is Craigslist. 3rd is local autotrader/little nickel,etc. 4th is Ebay/Internet interfaced yards (like
