Your best bet would be an exchange with Keystone. How bent is it? Some can be repaired.

Thanks Chuck. I'm going to bend it back. It leaks slow but repaired it would make a nice spare. Hate the spare wheel. Artie Ps. hope your enjoying your new boat my friend

My wife has an IS also, and seems to hit curbs about once or twice per year. Sounds like yours is in bad shape, but our local dealer has a guy that comes by and repairs the scuff marks. Grinds, sands them down, and then spot paint repair (while on the car). YMMV but this guy does a great job for about $100 and unless you know what you're looking for, the repair is perfect.

Last suggestion is to look on eBay - IS (takeoff) wheels are plentiful.
