On the way home from the Atlanta this weekend I had a bowout that seperated the side wall from the tread of the tire resulting in the outer lip of the rim rolling on the pavement ( about 30 seconds from start to finish). I have called wheel enhancement and they are looking for a used/new rim for me. The rim is a rear Porsche Sport Classic II 18" x 10". Does anyone konw if I can get a outer rim from BBS and bolt my center into it to save money? Or does anyone have an extra Sport Classic II outer or whole rim to sell?

Hey Dan,

Sorry about your misfortune. I can't help with the wheel but good luck.

I believe the Sport Classic can be had in 1-piece and 2-piece configurations. A 2-piece wheel should be repairable but might cost more to repair than to replace with a used wheel in good shape.

The 18" sport classic II is the two piece while the 17" is the one piece. I called wheel enhancement and they said they can not get the outer "rim" portion that I must buy the whole rim. Anyone have other information? I am going to give FVD a call today.

Don't know if you've tried or anything, but thought I'd throw this in...

I had a rear tire vandalized a couple years ago. Went in to State Farm and - after they tried to say that I accendently must have driven over 10 nails in one and only one tire, including the sidewall - they did pay for it. While talking to them they said that they will not cover a tire on a blow out, BUT, if you blow a tire and that subsequently causes other damage to the car like a wheel, fender, etc., they will cover the other damage - AND the tire.

Maybe they were wrong in telling me that, but that was State Farm in Maryland - so it might be worth looking into.
