Unhappy Please Help

I spent all morning yesterday spit shining my ride, all Zaino's products at hand, in preparation for my big night, last night. As I was setting things up for my big moment, I cut a U-turn on a narrow street and slammed a wheel into the curb. OUCH!!! I cringed as I heard the metal crunch against the hard concrete. I stepped out to take a quick look at the damage. Just cosmetic but pretty bad. I had no time to think about that at the time my big moment was soon at hand. I proposed to my girl, AND SHEE SAID YES!!!!!
Now it's the morning after and the reality of what happened to my poor rim has set in. Now I need a plan. Is there anyone in the SoCal area who has upgraded their rims but still has the original TL-S rims sitting around collecting dust? If there is anyone who is willing to part with one of these rims please let me know and I will make all the arrangements to pick it up. I talked to the dealer this morning and they charge about 250 bucks for the rim plus it takes a week and a half to get here. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.
BTW my girl told me the only reason she agreed to my proposal is because of my beautiful car. J/K

First, congratulation on your proposal.

Second, my rim also scratched to a curb like one or two months ago. I found a wheel shop in Gardena. I swap my damage wheel for a new one for $75.

Hope this help.

First of all CONGRATULATIONS! on your upcoming nuptials.
Today is my 5th year anniversary (and my wife's). It's alot of work but very rewarding. Wish you all the best.

Now about the rims, I believe I saw someone posting in the For Sale/Wanted forum.
