Default Source for replacement carbon blades?

Just noticed today the clear coat on one of my carbon blades is starting to peel near the rim. Has anyone found a good source for replacements of just the blades themselves? I've checked a few online parts suppliers and though they list the blades and fasteners as a separate SKU from the wheel, the SKU itself isn't listed to order separately.

The front: T2R3496
Rear: T2R3497

About $95.00 / ea

How bad is it? It could be good and cheap DIY project.

It's about a half inch wide spot from the edge of the piece inwards across the width of the blade where the clear coat has peeled, and you can see it continuing to pull up more along the peel line. I'd have to sand it down and re-spray it if I wanted to repair it, and that's both beyond my abilities and my garage outfit. haha The wheels probably need a good servicing by a professional for little nicks and scuffs and finish wear here and there, but I figured the blades would be an easy touch-up in the mean time, as only two of the 20 blades on my car have any wear at all. They've held up remarkably well so far, knock on wood.
