Going to be an expensive fix if you stay OEM....
Try looking at the marketplace forums and maybe you'll get lucky.

What other options do I have, replica? What about quality?

Nope, that's not an option as Replica wheels look different, weigh more, and aren't anywhere near the same quality as OEM. OEM are forged, or cylinder forged, whereas aftermarket are cast crap.
Left is Aftermarket, right is OEM: Not sure where you can buy new OEM wheels... |

Is it too damaged to just have repaired?
Beware buying used, make sure it is OEM..some will sell aftermarket as OEM, big difference in quality. |

The OEM replacement will be costly, but if its just one then I'd bite the bullet. You could also see about repairing your damaged one. A skilled wheel and metal repair facility can work wonders with abused wheels.

Sometimes that can be fixed as well, though in that case I can surely understand replacing it.
