I can tell you that 150 dollars plus is pricey just to true your wheel, and I can also tell you that a new wheel(just the part the tire actually mounts to) is about 140.00 and even at a cheap place they told me it would cost about 125.00 to take off my tire, unlace the old wheel, lace up the new one, and mount and balance the tire again and put it back on my bike. I know that doesn't help you find a wheel but just in case you were wondering how much it would cost you to replace it. And at the price you said they quoted you to just true up yours I would say they would charge you twice that for labor to lace up a new one for you. And BTW they(the shop I go to) said if they could true up my wheel it would only cost me an hours labor 45.00 plus the price to take it off my bike and put it back 10.00. So good luck, as for me for now I am riding on a wheel with a flat spot in it, cause 300.00 or so bucks is not in my budget at the moment.
