2008 model alloy wheel buckled

I recently noticed a lot of vibration through the steering wheel at 70 mph exactly... Took it to Halfords as I assumed the front wheels needed balancing. But when I went to collect they explained one wheel was buckled so they couldn't balance them. They put it on their machine to test, said the buckle was not visible. They couldn't do anything further. They recommended I take the car to a local wheel refurbisher who might be able to take the buckle out. I haven't managed to phone them yet. But I assumed it would be easy to find a used wheel from a beakers. I've not had any luck so far with local breakers on the Wirral. Is there an online search anyone could recommend? What might I expect to pay for a used alloy wheel for a 2008 model?
