For me, yes:



For this 911 driver, not so much:



I don't think this nice OZ rim can be buffed out!



The 911 broke loose going through a slalom, spun around and tagged a curb. This happened right in front my worker station. The curb did not seem to be that close to the pylons but once the 911 switched ends it just kept going. The whole thing seemed to happen in "slow motion" and the impact sounded like the Titanic hitting the Iceberg! It slid up an embankment where it stayed until we could jack it up and put another wheel on it. The driver was unhurt but the rim and tire were toast! We saw no other visible damage under the car so hopefully all else is OK.

Damn !

I doubt he will get away without new suspension arms...if the wheel broke the trailing arms are surely bent...he should take it to a full wheel alignment for a check.
