Rim Help

[ctess@mail.lidgerwood.com (Carrie Ann Tess)]

Okay so here is my story.  I was driving to work Monday morning and it was 20 below, 60 with the wind and I blew my front drivers side tire.  So here I am stuck on top of a bridge with my tire shot and all I could smell was rubber, knew right away what it was.  Ended up calling my uncle and he helped me put my spare on which was also very flat.  So I drove it straight to Tires Plus and lugged my whole wheel in there to show them what my problem was.  To make a long story short my tire had a gash in it and I cracked the rim.  The rim could not be fixed or so they said I thought it really wasn't all that bad but what do I know.  So meanwhile I am freakin' out wondering how much all this is going to cost!  The guy I think is having troubles finding a rim.  The price he gave me was $225.00 for a used clear coated one.  Is that a good price?  What should I do?  Right now I have this spare on from a Rabbit and it looks awful, and it is a 13" when I have 14".  I just want my car to be fixed that is all!  Right now I am only driving it at night so no one will see my wheel!  Just kidding!  But if anyone has any suggestions it would be very much appreciated!  Thank you so much!!!
