Default Where to find cracked or bent 993 Cup 2 Wheels?

I am looking for a few cracked or bent 993 Cup 2 Wheels for a project I am working on. Does anybody know of a good place to find some? I would be willing to pay for wheels+shipping.

It doesn't seem too many wrecking yards have these cars. I am hoping someone just has some damaged wheels sitting in their garage or shed or basement!

Not exactly what you're looking for but check out this sweet BBS wheel that someone formerly used as a coffee table base:

I'm pretty sure my SO wouldn't let this fly at our house, perhaps someone here could repurpose it...

That's a sweet one, but I am pretty set up Cup 2 - I just love the elegant simplicity.

I have one if you want to PM me. I intended to make something out of it, but it's been in the attic for a looong time now...

I have a Cup2 17" x 9" with 2 cracks that have been welded. The wheel is straight and fully functional, cosmetically a "C". I'll sell for $200 plus shipping to the lower 48. Not sure this is what you want. I took it off my car because not sure what kind of abuse it suffered with the previous owner.
