Replicas, unless used are cheaper.

If you are denting factory rims, you might crack replicas. As mentioned before, have a rim repair shop take a look at your rims.

Otherwise, check out ebay. Usually oem rims are around $400 for a full set, and some of them may come with tires.

How in the world are your denting that many rims? Are you running over steel lol. As said, have a specialist look at it. Depending on what you do to bend them a replica might not be in your best interest. Used sets in the classifieds or eBay would prob be a better bet since they're made tougher than most, if not all, replicas.
