There we have it. Best combination of confort, performance, and no hassle of juggling wheels for inspection. I daily drive my C4, and have never felt the 6&8 x 16 lacking.

996 10 spokes all the way for me, S02s, superb handling and grip wet or dry. They are actually lighter on mine than the D90s I took off. Great wheels and i love the look.

the "design 90" fits, but too close for comfort.

What are the 16's that look similar to cup1s? Those look pretty good.

Those are D92's, I use them for autocrossing as they are 7"/8" x 16, rather than 6"/8".

They might, but the only way to be sure is a trial fit. Maybe someone in your area has a set? I live in the Dallas area.
