FR MKII - Replacement Alloy

After having an unplanned meeting with a kerb today I find myself in need of a replacement alloy. It is a standard 17" 'Alhioth' alloy wheel, as fitted to 2008 FR's. The dealer is quoting £228 for one wheel!

So has anyone got a spare one, perhaps after changing? I'm after as new perfect as possible. Or are any you dealers willing to offer a sensible price?

dave on sere motors quoted me £155 plus £15 for an Andromeda alloy which was £223 list (182 fr type) look in the dealer section.
I know its not the same, but I suppose this is roughly the best price you will be able to get for the 17" for brand new.
