Need a new rim. Help!

Got on the hwy this morning in Michigan and after just half a mile hit a deep pothole that made me yell the F word instantaneously. The rim is bent down about a 1/2 inch but still holding air. It needs to be replaced. Just hoping to benefit from everyone's experience. Is the best option eBay, scrap yards (how do you find one at nearby yards?) or can it be fixed? Thanks for any ideas and recommendations.

facebook, craiglist, letgo, offerup, etc are all great places to start looking. Scrap yards either have parts that they get for you once you tell them what you need (if they have the car in their yard) or others are self serve such as You-Pull-it or LKQ.

Thanks. Just happened to search the rim part# and Amazon came up. An exact replica rim with 5 stars from WheelerShip came up and I solved the problem for about $160. Done.
