But for $75 I'd go for it, the damaged one is probably repairable.

The gold star is a bit too blingy for me. This picture is the closest to what I would want, although without the dumb fender trim and with polished & sealed aluminum instead of chrome:
Part of the motivation is to upgrade to 15" wheels so that I'll have a wider range of tires to pick from, both new and used. Ordinarily, I'd try to stick with stock, but I don't like the stock 15-hole rims.
