Be careful if you have a crack in that wheel. I ended up replacing my two passenger side wheels after hitting the mother of all potholes one Christmas evening. I called around, the more reputable places refused to fix the wheels -- they could guarantee straightening a bent rim, but I had a 2 inch crack, and they declined repair and money (I ended up purchasing four new wheels from tirerack, which were cheaper than two OEM wheels, so you don't think it was simply an upsell method).
The repair for straightening a wheel was somewhere in the $100 range, so if it's $170 for a "new" replacement, I would opt for that for safety reasons alone. (From one convertible owner to another, the titanium enforced a-pillar can only take so many rolls, and the piece of mind is worth it.)
