Default 2006 S40 Wheel replacement

I was victim to a pothole of death, and now I need to replace one. Is it worth it to try to get an oem rim so they match or am I just being silly?
Also, why is it such a pain getting a wheel?

Not sure of prices in your area but a replacement for our T5 17 inch from the dealer (in RSA) was more than and entire set of aftermarket , ridiculous , I was fortunate and got it fixed at a fraction of the cost
What is your spare ?, we have the same rim but lost some boot space when I purchased the car

This is one of those places where eBay can be your best friend... LINK TO S40 WHEELS

Of course, it can also be an opportunity to replace your stock wheels with something better. I did that for my 2006 V50, and it really changed the looks of the car, and since I got 'em used (with much better tires than the originals had), it was a cheap update.
