Damaged wheel

I had my new Mitchelin Pilot Super Sports fitted on rear wheels this morning to replace the winter tyres fitted when I purchased car a few months ago. However,there was one major problem. The drivers side rear wheel was so badly out of shape, presumably due to pot holes, that when inflated it leaked air from the inner rim. The only solution was for the fitter to use a sealant on the rim. This does appear to have provided a temporary fix, although it could leak again at any time.

So, after checking eBay and piston heads had no second hand wheels for sale, I now have a new wheel on order from local dealer at £390. Having also renewed tax this week, that is £1500 spent in a couple of days !
 
Would this not do?

£190 cheaper at least, and he'll accept off so probably lower
 
Thanks not Bob, picked it up this afternoon, will get it fitted tomorrow. Don't understand why my search did not find though ?
