Yup, I'll pull them off Sunday night and drive them over on Monday. Hoping for good news - but if not, time for new wheels. Either way, the 996 wins.

Right rear wheel. I did the same damn thing twice with my right rear wheel on the same corner on my way home from work. But I'm still winning: Me - 93; Curb at 119th & Quivira - 2.

Luckily, I barely brushed the curb so just ended up with about 4 inches of light curb rash from each incident. And my wheels are readily available on Tirerack.com and they aren't expensive at about $400 each. So I got that going for me.

Finally got around to adding a photo to 1st post. I have an SUV full of 911 wheels; heading over to AFW at lunch to see what they think. Still hoping - probably in vain - for good news.

The small smudged-looking part of the fissure at approx. 3:00 is where I hit the crease with a small wire wheel to see if I was dealing with flaked coating or creased metal. As I expected, it was definitely not flaking plating.

The ol' girl is hanging around on jackstands with her knickers exposed. I feel guilty.

Welp, I got confirmation from American Factory Wheel - my assumption that the wheel is junked is correct. It's nice to speak with someone who doesn't blow smoke - "I could probably repair it, but as soon as you hit a bump or a curb, you'd be f****d."

Will be posting up a pic to see if anyone recognizes my wheels - there aren't any distinguishing marks inside, and I can't identify the make.

OK, anyone think they recognize this wheel? The one I curbed is junk; finding a single replacement is obviously preferable to buying 4 wheels. Any leads appreciated.

Not to sound like an azz but those look like the typical $800/set wheels that were on eBay a few years ago IIRC.

Any markings on the wheel?

5CHN3LL

That wouldn't surprise me - they're definitely not high-end wheels; I'd just prefer not to have to replace all 4 if I can avoid it.

As far as markings, no, nothing useful

Think like the type of person who would buy these and ebay search "19 inch deep dish rims"

The icon for '19" Deep Dish Rims' look very similar

Yeah, I have found a number of similar rims, but none that are a match. I will expand my search terms to include "baller" and "hella."

Damn, you Googled more better than I did. I am impressed. Fired an email off to the manufacturer...we'll see what happens.

FRUNKenstein

Those are great looking rims. Why not just buy another full set at that price? Then you'll have spares if it happens again.

These guys might have something close but probably OM. Go into CATALOG on their website and navigate to the 911 page. Worth a look 🤔
