as you can just see the damage was bad enough to flex the alloy enough to flake the paint.

if the roads still suck, then keep the thicker profile as a word of consideration.. replacing porsche wheels and low profiles could get to be an expensive and annoying hobby when the roads are cr@p !
In Alex's case, he's only looking at going with a 1.5% shorter sidewall.
