Take a look at the warped wheel and tyre and read the spec off that. With a frame designation in inches, I suspect you are on a MTB.

It's either a 27" if it's old school or 700c if it's newer.

Slightly different diameter. 27 is inches and 700 is milimeters, as mentioned befor you should find it marked on your rim or tyre, how badly is it warped it may be able to be straightened again. -
How'd you know you have a 23" frame and not know anything bout your tires? just curious.

OK, tires are the same... size is marked on the tire sidewall. For the rim, get the same size (the first number that appears on the tire size ie. 700c x 23) 700c is the rim size. -

take it to a reputable bike shop and ask them if they can repair it. You'd be surprised at the wheels that can be repaired. If they can't, ask them what it would cost to replace with a wheel of comparable quality - or if they advise buying better quality. Then, post here with all the details of what you find out and some people can advise you if you could do better mail order.
