Rim needed

I took my Camaro to a shop yesterday to get my wobbling rear tire balanced. Of course, it wasn't as easy of a fix as I had hoped. My 16" rim is completely bent, and, sure enough, once I took it off and rolled it, it wobbled like crazy. The outer edges of the tire are now completely nonexistent, and I definitely need to find someone with one of these rims (with a tire would be even better). I just got back from the junkyard.. no luck. Does anyone in Southern California have one of these that they'd sell me? I'll even consider buying a set, I'm pretty desperate.

I thought I had a slightly bent rim (has about a 1/4" wooble at the outer edge of the rim next to the tirebead- turns out I have had a bent axle all this time (3 years from when i installed a disc brake junkyard rearend)- Have new drilled flange Moser axles coming on Monday or Tuesday.

RTFC- I thought it might be a part of my rear end, but, like I said, the tire has an obvious wobble when I roll it when its off the car.

82 Nightrider- If you could find one, let me know because that would be really helpful.

I searched eBay, apparently they're kind of hard to find. They had them, but I only need one.. I found a guy selling only one, but for $160 something, I can find a better deal. I hope.

Thanks for your help.. anyone else?
