I have a bent rim that can't be bent back on one of my wheels. It's running on the spare wheel right now. I want to find a wheel at a junkyard that will fit and work but I don't know how to tell what the proper offset and lug spacing is to find one that will work. Can anyone help me out?
The car is a 2006 Ford Five-Hundred with alloy wheels.
How can I tell what the offset of my wheels are?

On most rims the specs like size, width, and offset will be stamped into the back side of the rims or on a sticker.

All I see on the back is 5G13-1007-CB
ford part number
and 17x7J52
17 inch tire, beads are 7 inches apart, "J" style bead (practically all cars) and I bet the 52 is either the hub bore size in mm(small) or offset (likely).
You can bore yourself and take the wheel off, put a level across the bead mating surfaces, and tape measure down to the flange. Flip it over and measure that. Total of the two should be 7 inches minus the thickness of the flange. Take the long side, subtract 3.5 inches, you're in the ballpark.
Like eljefino said, 52 is likely the offset, as also discussed in this thread: http://www.fordtaurus.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4961

5 X 114.3mm = 5 X 4.5"
Same as Mustang and my Maxima.
