Cracked BBS Milan - replacement?

Cracked BBS Milan - replacement?
Hey folks,
For the first time ever I failed to avoid a massive pothole in LA's terrible streets - ended up tagging my front left wheel which caused a blow-out and invisibly bent the inner rim on my BBS Milan (these are the R1 package wheels). The wheel is not repairable per the opinion of two different experts, so I'm looking for a replacement, and it's not pretty, as you'd imagine.
Anyone have a spare BBS Milan laying around? I've checked the classifieds, ebay UK and ebay US with no luck...will start calling parts houses now although I think I know how expensive that's going to be.
Thanks,
3-wheel motion

Not sure what year your car is, or whether you want front or rear or something different...a picture of a good wheel might help.

Thanks so much for the rapid and very helpful responses, guys. I'm looking for the front wheel, which is apparently an 18x8.5 and is in the brilliant (silver, not gold) finish - this is the standard wheel with the R1 package, as pictured in SteveM's post below.
Steve, will PM you now about purchasing that wheel, otherwise I'll reach out to the wheel collision center link you provided, Blackbeard. Again, thanks so much for the help. Will keep you posted.

XJROH2:
I suggest you contact one of your local wheel refinishing shops. Some of them have mobile vans reconditioning broken and scratched wheels at new and used car dealers. They're in the yellow pages.
Otherwise, call BBS wheels in Brasleton, GA--next to Road Atlanta. They can possibly help you if you need a new wheel or refer you to a dealer that can order one. Reconditioning will probably be the less expensive way to go, however.

Those 'wheel collision center" NEVER have those wheels, don't waste your time on it.
As long that the center part is good, BBS should be able to do it but I believe that you have to do that through a Jaguar dealer ( Jaguar own the wheel design)
You can also contact Steve at: www.sbwheels.co.uk
About 1 month ago he had 2 like brand new silver Milan for about $325 each
Obviously shipping from the UK is not cheap so Setve offer for his wheel could be your best option
