Try a dark parking lot late at night if you want it cheap .

Could just be that the spokes aren't correctly torqued, worth checking that before looking at more expensive options

If it isnt taco'd or cracked you should be able to tune it with a spoke wrench and an adjustable spanner

Generally curious
I don't have a smoke ranch nor do I know how to correctly torque the spokes correctly I was wondering if I can just get the specs and get a cheaper wheel that's my only mode of transportation so I might have to do

You might want to check out some Youtube videos on how to true a rim before you decide you're sure you can't do it. A spoke wrench is a lot cheaper than a new wheel. And it tends to mangle spokes but you can get by using different tools. Tools would also of course be required to change the wheel if you do that so you can't get out of using tools one way or another.
