Default 98-00 WS6 Wheel

I am looking for a single 98-00 WS6 wheel. One of the wheels I have on mine is a bit warped, it balanced out to zero on the tire machin, but i get a vibration between 60-65 mph. I goes away after I pass 65. I have had the car for 68K miles and the shocks may still be the origianls and the back seems to bounce a bit when pushed down. The car now has 167k on it. Don't know if new rear shocks will help at all since the wheel is currently on the rear. But if anyoen has a single wheel let me know.

Thanks,

Chris

I have, the only singles up there at this time all have a bunch of peeling clear coat and some good curb rash on them. The wheels I have on my car do not have either which is amazing. the only part that is peeling some is behind the spokes. I want to try and find one as close as possible to what I have.
