I have a set of 18 wheels I would sell. They happen to have winter tires on them which you can think of as packing material. I bought them from Wheel Enhancements - they are not factory wheels but a damn good copy and very driveable. At a minimum they would get you through until you find something you really want. PM if interested and we might make a deal.

That said, I can't tell from the pic if you have just paint peeling or metal. If the former I wouldn't worry about it assuming the tire still holds air - just get it checked out, repair the damage and move on. If that is a bunch of wheel metal hanging out, it may be hard or impossible to repair to a satisfactory safety standard. In that case you could patch up and use as a spare for an emergency but not as a daily wheel/tire.

I, too have a set of the same 18 inch wheels simply sitting around. If you are interested in them (they are OEM) let me know.

Below is the detail on the 18s. You can put any OEM 19s on there without any offset worry. I have the Carrera S 19s most of the time. I would get the tires looked at by whoever you buy them from, before you get a new pair. It's hard to tell through pictures. Once you have the tires & wheels, take the car to your dealer and have them do a look-see. All the best mate.
