Aluminum can be tricky to repair. As important as wheels are to the safety of your car, I wouldn't recommend attempting a repair. But there are shops that will do wheel repairs. Check your yellow pages.

I did a Google search and found an OEM reconditioned wheel at Wheels and Rims http://www.wheels-and-rims.com/cgi-b...00110509106.29. It's a 16" diameter wheel for $329 plus shipping.
Finish Line also has your wheel in OEM ($249) and Replica ($258) but it is in a 17" size here: http://www.finishlinewheels.com/MERC...TYPE+203/2003/
