So I had a bit of a disaster on the way home from work - failed to see a huge pothole and have ended up with a big dent in my rear wheel.
I'm wanting to get it sorted as quickly and as cheaply as possible. So I was wondering if it's generally considered cheaper to get a new rim and have the wheel re built or buy a new wheel? The wheels came as standard on my Pearson Touche and are X keymet XR 300 Track, which I can only find on ebay for £170 for the wheelset. I don't think these are particularly good wheels but I'd like the replacement to match the front as best as possible (they're 30mm rims).
Anyone know of any good deals on rear SS/track wheels?
Thanks in advance.
various sets for decent prices at PX/O-O

Re-rim should't cost to much. May take a few days if you need your bike during that time buy a cheap pair from say Charlie the Bike Monger or On One and use whilest you get yours rerimmed
Yeah these are good http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/WPOOPOMP/on_one_120mm_clincher_wheels_(pair)
Thanks for the advice. In the last hour I've found a replacement XR 300 wheelset for £85 from high on bikes so I think I'll go for them.
