Default Where to find a discontinued rim?

Hey guys,

One of the 19x8.5 Speedy Envy rims on my BA has cracked right on the spoke and cannot be rewelded.
Speedy no longer make this rim and was discontinued about a year ago I think. I need to get hold of a new or second hand one in silver to suit a BA.
I have spoken to Speedy and other large wheel/rim retailers and no luck. The only place I have found one is in USA, but it will cost me 650 for a singular rim including shipping to Adelaide.
Any have any other ideas where to find one?

Tried ebay? The only way you might get around it is if you find a complete set.

Westfield carpark

Maybe a smaller wheel shop might have them lying around, or would they just have ordered as they needed them

Someone could have a display one, but will it be the right offset / size?

He has had a lot of odds and sods over the years as he bought a lot of Speedys factory seconds.
