It was a beautiful rainy day in Souther California after a long time. Took my 996TT out for a little fun, spinning, pitch and catch. But ended up hitting the curbside what I would say a soft hit. Unfortunately, one of the real wheel got damaged, feeling really down and depressed and regretting my decision . Any one has a wheel part nr 99636314203 to help me out of this misery? Thanks.
You looking at the same post / photo's as me, or did you hit the send button too early and leave of the ha ha from you post and a bit too lazy to edit it. Surely that rims destined for the scrap metal recyclers at best compared to picking up a second hand rim or set.

Sorry for this. I would check for bent control arms and change the wheel bearing. The are not long for this world after a hit like this.
Not to come across as preachy or parental, but rainy slick roads are not optimum or forgiving for any significant amounts of jackassery. Glad you are okay.
Thanks for all the comments/advice.
I was having little fun in a small cud-de-sac, spinning the car. The rear end just slid out. Instead of breaking I tried to accelerate forward but there was no grip from the tires on the wet surface and I was too close to the curbside. Lesson learned, the cul-de-sac was not the right place for such activities.
Yes, I shall look for a wheel on Ebay.
No indication of suspension damage, the car is running fine, stable at 90+mph (on a separate set of wheels). I shall have a mechanic check out the suspension system.

I see you might be unfamiliar with the concept of sarcasm.
