Used Wheel for Leased Car

Leased an EV (Polestar) for a 90 mile daily commute. Gas savings covered the lease payment and it’s a fun car.

Wife ran into a curb last month and the wheel is still functional, but looks like shit. Dealership charges $1K to replace it.

I’m assuming I could find a used one in a salvage yard, for a fraction of the cost.

In my 20s, I had a Toyota, and the powered side mirror completely disappeared one day while parked in the city. (I’m assuming someone knocked it off, and then just took it.) Anyway, I went to a salvage yard looking for a replacement. They didn’t have one, but they checked their computer, and told me a salvage yard across the city did I drove over, picked up that used mirror, and installed it. Problem solved.

Given everything is connected these days, is there a legit site where I can locate and purchase a used replacement wheel for the polestar? I understand it’s a more obscure model for used parts. I did some searching online, but most sites I found seem to be smaller businesses with limited inventory, offering a new wheel at a small discount.
Thanks!
