eBay, just search your part number there, several for sale, about $200 give or take

depends how much your wheel is bent, but most good wheel shops can easily straighten bends.

the fact that you were told your wheel was bent implies that someone had to tell you, it can't be that bad.

I had my tires replaced last year when I was told I just don't know which version of rim it is regular or the darker color. Its hard to tell from web pix and buying parts on ebay seems risky.

How can you find out - does the vin help?

Sure, through up your vin, I'll go on EPC and get the part number details for you

But again, if it's just a minor bend just have a good wheel shop straighten and color match the bent wheel.

It's no big deal, they do it all the time. Unless it's structurally compromised I would get it straightened and repainted, they can match the color.

I just looked on EPC using a generic CLK500 w209, the vin would be more specific.

But the EPC extract, copy and pasted below shows the two color types for that wheel, which one is darker is just a guess, I would think Titanium would be darker than Sterling Silver-- your vin will be more accurate, but might be the same, (ES2 is the color code)

Where would be the best place to get one - price and in good condition - I was told mine was bent
I do not know where is your location. I believe that I still have a spare rim & tire in my shack. If you are local (SoCal :Orange County CA), I give it FREE for you (I advise the tire is OLD, new to be replace, because it had been stored as least 10 years), I had this spare for me 2000 CLK (I know it's 17 inches OEM MB rim, not replica). Let me know.

I'm going to have the all of my rims looked at and see if the bent one can be fix at the same time
That is th best choice, they will save the bent one most likely, and repaint it to match Good luck
