Default best vendor to buy a replacement wheel

I hit a granite curb last week and want to replace the wheel.
I need one 2006 OME 5 spoke front chrome wheel.

eBay. No reason to by a knockoff. Just buy a nice GM wheel.

A Forum member listed one for sale in the Forum For Sale/Wanted section not too long ago. Might inquire there.

I have a set of 4 QX3 option chrome 5 spoke wheels that I was getting ready to list. I guess i could split the set and sell you the fronts, both are have excellent chrome, I hit a pothole with the passenger side front. I removed the wheel and had it inspected by The Wheel Doctor in Cincinnati, they told me that a 1.5 inch section of the outer lip was bent .050 inches. Since the wheel balances well, holds air and the chrome was pristine, he wouldn't risk damaging the chrome. I ran it for 2 more years with no issues until I got my spyder wheels. I could go $200 obo for the 2 fronts including the center caps + shipping.
