In an incident that isn't worth getting into my back left lobster claw got nicked up. Going to have to replace it and was wondering if anyone knows what one of these go for. Thanks for the info.

you should try to send it to a professional wheel repairer first, its amazing what those guys can do.

you'd be surprised.

I was quoted nearly $1000 from Porsche, which is complete BS. You can find them on eBay for around $500 or less.

Moogle is right about the wheel repair. If the damage isn't too severe they can fix it for a couple hundred dollars max.

Do you know of one in the area? I work in NYC & live in CT. It's not tht bad going to post a pic for tomorrow just a scrape on a 2-4 inch part of the wheel but driving me crazy!

i suppose thast the price for peace of mind to buy from the manufactuer.

Makes guys like me kick myself for not ordering the wheels with the car.

Just get it repaired. Simple, inexpensive and effective. It will look like new.

It is on my watch list. Too bad I don't get employee discounts.

Weissy,

Send the damaged wheel to 'Wheel Collision Center' in Bath, PA. They have a website. Many of the Porsche, Mercedes, etc dealers in NYS use them. They are pros. They refinished my 18" TT hollow spokes last year. Unbelievable job and very fast.

I don't know how bad your wheel is scratched, but it happened to me when I took my 996 through a car wash and I took it to Marmin Collision Specialists, 517 East 73rd St., NYC. (212) 327-3486, and they buffed it right out for less than $100. Ask for Gary Garr and tell him Jack Hassid recommended him.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Will start with that place in the city and then take it from there.
