They are Gemballa 17" Turbo competition wheels from my Boxster.

I had a little "accident" with my boxster a few years ago. I drove at high speed on a piece of metal on the highway so the right front and back have some damage.

I have 2 questions

1. Can it be fixed?
2 Is it worth fixing them and would they look nice on my 993?

Thanks in advance

It appears that these are multi-piece wheels, so a new outer part could be installed. I would contact a wheel specialist. I know we have several here on the Left Coast, so I am sure that there must be some on your side of the pond. Good luck.

Ouch! Too bad for the wheel. At least you were unhurt - the important part.
I agree with Pete. They do look to be multi-piece wheels, therefore able to be fixed. If I'm not mistaken (and I usually am!), mutli-piece wheels are specifically designed to distribute the force of an impact in such a way as to keep the spokes/ center undamaged while caving in the outer portion of the wheel (at least that what the wheel guys explained to me when I did the same thing). I was quoted about $200 US for the fix.

just checked and they are 3 piece gemballa Turbo competition wheels.

Would such a 17" wheel look ok on a 993?

Thanks

Not sure what it would look like on a car with PSS9s....I'm guessing you can drop the height down to make up for the gap [right now I'm at SUV height and my MY02 18" wheels look like 16s]. Make sure that you can drop the car down enough to fill up the wells though...
