how do i find a stock wheel

I was driving my dads 84 gsl se this morning and the roads were a little slick from light snow last night and i slid into a curb completely destroying the lip on the rear wheel its folded in so i dont think there is anything i can do with it now.
Ive been looking and its extremely hard to find any wheels that will fit, not many wheel manufacturers make wheels in a 14 from what ive found. My buddy at work found a site that has the same wheel i screwed up but they cost $160 bucks and i was hoping i could find one for cheaper than that.
I am of the understanding that the bolt pattern should be 4x110. Am i correct? does anyone have any ideas of where i could get one of these wheels for a decent price or any cheap set of matching wheels that will bolt up to this car?

i attached a picture of the wheel im trying to find

thanks

nope thats from an -SE. The pattern should be 4x114.3 (right? I'm not an -SE guy myself). I bet you could find plenty of people on here with a stock wheel to sell you. Check in the "Parts for Sale" section.

edit: I just noticed, you said it was a GSL-SE, so you know that. But yeah, the -SEs had the different and more common 4x114.3 bolt pattern.
