Still curious what size tires you choose

I had a Porsche shop do that to one of my wheels and I took it to a tire shop that backmounted the tires to the rims.

F16- They are 245-45/16 & 205-50/16.

Doug,

What a bummer.

Please feel free to call anytime. 408-210-0113

Let me see what I can do for you. That would drive me nuts!

Don't feel bad - The same day I had mounted my freshly polished and custom painted 19" wheels on my 996 I curbed the left rear wheel and them curbed the right rear sourcing a 930 wheel for a brother pelican. Yes - The same day.

I ended up buying another set of wheels so I can simply swap when an imperfection occurs.

I would encourage you to have the tire shop pay for the damage.


Thank you,
Jason

You gotta be real careful about tire mounting monkeys, they don't work there because of their expanded intellect and great attention to detail...

I don't think that scratch will require a refinish on the wheel. In fact I don't think that the scratch is really a big deal. Just drive it, you could sand with 2000 grit and then air brush in some paint but for what really? Its so faint, unless its a bigger deal that the camera is not picking up.

Save for future curb rashing, if there's a resale value, it's less now.
