Help My Christmas has been cancelled :(

I've got a nice set of 18'' momo wheels and I've curbed badly. It needs to be replaced at cost about 160 quid. After few phone-calls I've been told the wheels has been discontinued and I cant get a replacement anywhere . I could buy a smaller wheels but I've got a brand new tyres on them so I need to buy a set of new 18" wheels now. If anyone know about anyone having a spare used set for 159 I will buy'em straight away!!

Are they aftermarket wheels?

Does it really have to be replaced? Most places can repair even the worst damaged wheels now!

Thats how it looks like. I have made few phone-calls to people refurbishing wheels and they all said that it is too badly damaged to be fixed

Try these guys. Chris at wheelnice is a master at making your wheels round again. Bit of a trek for you but he could save you a lot of money. He made one of my 17" selespeed (previous car) round again and when I left he was just starting work on a 19" or 20" from a Corvette Z06 with a really big flat spot.

Nice, new springs or shocks perhaps? Could do with dropping a few mm.
