Marc I think I saw 1 of these wheels on Ebay yesterday if you need to replace it.

Good luck with the repairs.

It sucks to damage your car, but I wouldn't sweat it too much. Modern autobody repair technology is pretty impressive and if you take it to the right shop you'll never know it happened. My wife put her M Roadster into a Jersey barrier sideways when she got a little throttle-happy on an onramp. The car was pretty messed up and probably should have been totalled (from a cost of repair viewpoint), but they fixed it anyway. When we got the car back I had to *really* look for any evidence the car was ever repaired, and I knew exactly where to look!

In case they don't blame you, just tell them it wasn't your fault because you were asleep at the time of the accident...works every time. Besides, you can always mitigate your loss by suing the city for their placement, shape and overall construction of the curb. I bet the curb caused you to hit the fence. I'd also hire a land surveyor and sue the property owner for their (mis?)placement of the fence. Oooh, oooh, and don't forget to sue Porsche for failing to equip your car with a suspension and braking system sufficiently capable of (defying physics and) avoiding all manner of accidents. You didn't happen to have a cup of McDonalds coffee in your car at the time, did you? lol

Bummer that it happened Mark, beautiful areo package just looked right on your Porsche. Easy for me to say all will work out insurance wise, but it will. You'll get through it and in the meantime can drive your Carrera 3.2 until it's fixed or replaced. As mentioned, the good news is that no one was hurt.
