played a little to hard, bit the curb. need a wheel...
You know how it goes, the harder you play, the more likely it is, eventually you'll have to pay. clipped the curb just enough to break the lip on my rear wheel... Playing around on an undeveloped, dead side street with some fun corners to hang the *** end out through. Done it a ton of times. The old tires vs cold streets stepped out just a hair farther then I left room for... such is life.
So on that note, anyone know where one of these is laying around at? Doesn't have to be perfect by any means, these aren't. 19x10 or 11.

Agree with todcp. That's a hit and suspension needs a good check. Even a time I brushed a curb with my Boxster's right rear tire and didn't even damage the wheel or the tire the right rear wheel alignment was out.
For a replacement wheel... I don't know where you are but years ago when I hit a curb with my Mustang GT and ruined a wheel I dealt with Calderon Tires/Wheels in San Jose CA.
Give Calderon a call and see if the place has a wheel for you.

It Does look alot worse then it is. If you look close you can see the "polished lip" is just a cover over the lip and not actually part of the structural wheel. Although I did crack what was under it. That being said, I have spent a fair amount of time under the car looking things over. Can't see any other damage, but will do it a few more times with fresh eyes!
And yes. It is an excuse for new wheels... and it needed tires anyway, but if love to be able to drive it till the salt hits the roads here. Doesn't look likely though. I don't even have a nonmatching one to throw on it to move it around.
