who's good with the law?

Sorry to hear. If I were you:

I would replace the cracked wheel and sell the car on ebay, and be very up-front in your listing that it does not meet California emissions requirements. An out-of-state buyer from a state with more lenient (or no) emissions requirements will buy it.

Don't tell your whole tale of woe regarding your experience with the dealer, in your listing. It serves no purpose. Just represent the car honestly and sell it, and cut your losses.
