I bent my wheel on a curb thanks to the 6"+ of snow on the ground covering the curb--yes that's right 6"+ of snow...in...north Texas. What does one of these wheels run used? I'm rather irritated on this happening since I was barely even going 5mph.

For the price of getting one used you'd be better off buying one from Steve at Tousley that you know won't be bent. I've replaced a couple of mine this way and I'll be looking to replace the other two soon.
If memory serves 130 including shipping which is great considering people want 100 or more for a used wheel.
Also if you decide not to go this route there are several shops across the country that fix bent wheels, just do a google search.

Call around, the prices are usually pretty fair between 50-100 here in Orlando.
But I'm always opposed to fixing one when I can get a brand new one for a little more...

Steve has good prices and I've also bought the EAP wheels at Tire Rack (who still sells them but isn't carrying the other Ford Racing factory SVT wheels any more). Even if you could get it repaired for a lot less, the stock wheels are cast and bend pretty easy. I wouldn't trust the strength to be similar after a repair, especially if it bent on the inside (weaker) unsupported lip/edge. And with the price to repair normally fairly close to replacement cost for a new one that's probably the best way to go.

I've actually bent one going over a speed bump, not a significant bend, but still. Inside edge on mine too...
