Bad News/ Better than I thought

I have been getting a noticeable vibration at 70 mph. So I take the car in for wheel balance. Turns out my left rear rim is bent(My wife is now grounded from the Max). I have a 99 SEL with the stock SEL gunmetal rims. So I figure I will get reamed by the dealership for 300-500 for the rim. Turns out to be $163(whew). The kicker is a 99 SE rim is $350. Go figure.

So let me get this straight.. 99 SE rims, 5 spoke 16" in silver are $350. The SE-Limited rims in Titanium color are only $163? Does this make sense to anybody?

This is true. I could not believe it. I slapped my plastic down pronto. I even had the guy double check. He called it gunmetal but I say titanium too. Sure enough $163 shipped. $171 w/tax.
