Is that a forged rim? I have sport techno IIs on the 991 and I've hit some potholes where I was sure the whole front suspension was ripped out...they're forged and survived. Tires seem OK too...were Ps4 at the time...

@LastMezger - I have the stock Turbo S center lock wheels for my winter set up. I just heard from Porsche and the wheel is good and not compromised - no other damage just need a new winter tire.

I once picked up a lovely case of 'curb rash' misjudging where the snow ended and concrete began.
