Found the rear passenger side alloy wheel severely bent on the inside. Strangely there was no leak. If I didn't remove it to change the brake caliper because of the stuck piston I found last week, I never would have noticed it.
Now I need to replace the 20 spoke alloy wheel. What's a good source of these wheels?
You might find one at an upper scale junkyard, but it likely won't be cheap. Have you looked into getting the wheel repaired? There's a few places that specialize in fixing damaged alloy wheels, some of them do a pretty good job.

Perhaps, though I've seen rims with fairly substantial chunks broken out of them repaired. They weld in a new section of aluminum, grind it to shape and then refinish the wheel.
