Curbed wheel

Hello everyone, first time poster here. I have a model Y juniper launch with the 20" helix silver wheels. Well myself, just like about everyone else, finally curbed one of them after having it about a year. I was shopping around for a replacement wheel just to see how much they are. Long story short, I found a seller on eBay that was selling to sell me a new OEM wheel for $400 shipped. He claims it is not a refurb and not driven on, and has a very high rating with 10s of thousands of positive reviews. I am considering picking it up and selling my current wheel on market place to recoup some of the cost. I have not called the Tesla service center yet, going to do that today to see what the cost would be direct from Tesla. Is $400 for a new wheel pretty reasonable? From what I can tell, it seems to be a great price. The only others I could find that were at $400 were refurbished wheels. Would love to hear thoughts. And please no comments about getting it repaired, I am pretty locked into replacing it with a new OEM. Thanks in advance, this is the first time doing something like this

Look at EVBase wheel covers for them you can cover the rash and protect all 4 for way less than $400 I just ordered to but on my new Y

It is a good thought, but my OCD will always tell me they are there unfortunately. It sucks.

Yeah but once you change it out protect them cause it’s bound to happen again and easier to change this then a whole wheel

Oh yeah, totally agree with you there.

Is the curb damage that bad? If not, why not wait until you trust yourself a bit more to get the replacement. You can get the covers overseas for ~$60. I have matte ones on my Helix wheels and have some posts with pix if you want to see what they look like.
