I use Hoosiers for the track and their sidewalls have a band that protrudes and protects my track wheels.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have BBS LM (18") on my 996. Beautiful wheels on the car. But,just had the second episode of damage, this time curb rash ( actually happened to my wife when she was driving the car) which can easily be fixed. As the rim edge of these wheels really seems to stick out even with the tire edge, very susceptible to damage. Considering a change back to an OEM wheel for the street and use my BBS for the track. Any suggestions ? TIA Doug

POST 2Original post

The OEM wheels are just as susceptible to curb rash, esp. the rears (I've scratched both sides). Problem is really the tire sidewall design, not the wheels. I use Hoosiers for the track and their sidewalls have a band that protrudes and protects my track wheels. Don't know why the street tires are designed without a similar protection band but most are not. Karl

POST 3Original post

Some of the street tires do in fact have protection (ie: the new Sport Contact 2). BTW, the new 02 Carerras are BBS and only weigh 20.5 ft/22.7 rear!

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
