How did you damage it?
Did you get the wheel and tire insurance?
I have some names of companies that deal in the insurance industry that I can get you tomorrow...

not to worry, it looks very repairable. you didn't say where you are from so people can recommend a place close to you.

here's some links describing the process and exampleof repairs.

No insurance, I already bought a new set of rims for it, but I want to get this one fixed for track days.

How did it happen, ran over something at night no idea what but it blew out the tire and took that chunk out

you should read the links above and ask questions to see if they use the same process as metrowheels or alternatively send the wheel to metrowheel.

wow ... i would hate to ask what you paid for porsche oe wheels. aftermarket wheels would have been lighter, more cost effective and look nicer.

I think a stock rim was 1,600 if I remember that correctly, so instead I threw some D's on that b****

But I still need a good set for track days, so I am a looking, again thanks for your help.
