I've priced 'em on ebay for no less than $300.

That's pretty bad. I would be surprised if it could be fixed given how far it was stretched. Metal doesn't have memory, so moving it back means reshaping the metal altogether and I can't see how that can be done without messing with the temper.

I would just be patient and find a good wheel on ebay, but definitely send the pics to the pros.

Have you gotten that frame checked out?

Usually that hard of a hit will bend a frame....
