Replacement Rims

Didn't see other posts on this topic so opted for new topic. New to TT traveling and rv.net so be gentle. Had blowout on 1st trip. Didn't notice right away (tandem axle) so rim sustained damage. Replacing with OEM rim is $170. That's a lot more than my research shows for secondary market. I can't imagine it's that much better, if at all. I can replace all rims with likely better for maybe twice that, but that leaves me with 3 unneeded rims. I have to think I'm not only person who has experienced this conundrum. Have seen my rims on many other TTs, suggesting they're pretty common, but I can't find anyone selling 3 rims (or 2 or 1). What's my best bet?

    Be sure to look up what you had, so you can match up. Not just in looks but weight capacity is important. You don't say where in Idaho you are. These folks might be able to help. http://sixrobblees.com/products/?c=155&n=wheels
  • Is it aluminum or steel? A picture and size would help get answers.
