CM WTB '84-'85 16x9.5 (Z51) rims

I can play this a dozen ways. I have one bent right rim.

I can:

1. Buy a single or full set from someone here

2. Look for a good referral to a reconditioner, preferably within driving distance of Detroit and recondition my spare set (that has the exact same rim bent!)

3. Pray to the gods someone has a set of take-offs with OEM Gatorbacks that have been in a garage properly stored since 1985, like the ones I let get away on eBay!

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Yes, someone does, though the tires are worn.
