I've seen this story before in a movie.....did she start scrolling through her nudes as she looked for her insurance info? I bet she was looking for Mr Right lol....

She was actually horrified over what she had just done - I actually felt bad for her, but such a stupid F'ing error. I was totally shocked that her company totally took responsibility for it without any drama, and wired me the money in a few weeks - best possible outcome from a **** situation.

yes that’s the sports packages’ rim. I only have this car to use as my everyday commute to school! Regardless of the conditions have to drive this. Afterall, the car is fully ppf so not too much concerned about the paint, have taken it through touchless automatic car washes a few times. I don’t plan on keeping the car forever.

Not to brag or be called spoiled but I am not that old, I am young and I got my drivers license less than a month ago. I’d much rather spend every bit driving the car and not care about the weather as long as it’s driveable. Not saying I’m going to trash the car but not take excessive care and keep the car untouched for the next owner. I bought it to drive it.

I hope all of these will be covered by the tire and rim insurance.

+1…wheel itself cosmetic damage, but not sure how hard you hit. If you’re concerned, flatbed to dealer for an inspection

maybe some snow tires for the season to be safe

Fully aware of what salt and ice can do to a car, but then, again, it is just a car.

Drive, get it fixed (if it needs fixing), then rinse and repeat.

These aren't faberge eggs, to be garaged and gawked at from afar and near. They're meant to be taken out and driven. The TTS, in particular, is meant to be an all-season, all weather 911.

Not telling you what to do with your car, or how to drive it, but if the price of the car is hindering you from driving it, perhaps it wasn't the best purchase to begin with.

I guess you're not understanding what I am saying... That yellow icon of the head smash, that is what I am doing now reading this.

Good luck. The wheel and tire package I purchased from my dealer wouldn't replace a wheel if the tire holds air. Seriously.

I live in Canada, and we have snow until the end of May on many mountain passes. I drove my previous (991.2) TTS for 4 winters, including one snow rally (cayenne broke the morning of). Nothing went wrong. No abnormal damage or wear and tear. My car is covered with PPF (front half) and has ceramic on the paint, though. The only thing that rusted was aftermarket exhaust mounting hardware. The dealer replaced it with matching OEM hardware as a courtesy, and it did not rust. The only issue was deep snow popping off brake ducts. It does not seem to be an issue on the new (992) one, strangely. So lower clearance aside, it's no more fragile than any other porsche, which are very robust.

Regarding the damaged wheel - it should be ok to keep driving and repairable. OEM wheels are very robust and do not crack but bend. I did a similar thing in a very similar situation last year (hit a patch of ice and slid into a curb) with even more damage, and the wheel was repaired, even though it was a complex repair, while the car was completely fine. The sidewall of the tire also looks fine to me - it's the rim protector that got damaged. But close inspection of the tire is a good idea anyway. Here is how my damaged wheel looked like.

Certainly looks to be more cosmetic than anything. That said, I would absolutely have the alignment numbers checked and any adjustments made if needed. It doesn't look hard enough to have actually bent anything linkage wise, but always best to check!!
