Boeing 717

I took these at the Gmund museum a few years ago.

You did all that just to find a coolant leak? Crazy!!

Nice, I know some 968 owners with Magenta interiors that should not be left alone with that car

If the only thing they need is a drivers seat, door panel, center console or steering wheel. Looks like someone else beat them to the rest of the pieces or at least cut them in two.

So Jeff, could we trust you (or me!) alone with those Cup 1s?? Actually, yes. Neither of us would desecrate such a museum piece. But oh what a fantasy....

What is the deal with Cup 1s? Is it the originality? There are a ton of wheels that look better on the 968 and aren't as hard to find. I've sold at least 6 sets for a song and never knew anybody wanted them until I came here. No wonder they sold so fast.

From a weight perspective, they are pretty light compared to aftermarket. This is for OE not knock offs.

Unsprung weight helps on these cars.

Really? That's my all time favorite Porsche wheel.

Wouldn't it be nice if parts were that accessible?

In the 7.5 and 9" width, they and becoming very difficult to find even though the 1s and 2s were sold (at least as far as the 968 goes) in similar numbers.

I have a set but could use one front in better condition and same goes for Jeff. I have 2 sets of the 7.5 and 9" Cup 2s and that's after selling a set to a friend. Cup 2s seem to appear on occasion, but the last set of Cup 1s to appear on eBay sold for, IIRC, 1500 + and that was in need of reconditioning.

So it's not that they are everyone's pick of wheel or the best of the best, but they seem difficult to find. If these cars keep appreciating and it comes to a point where originality becomes a valuation factor, you're gonna want a set of Cup 1s if they were original equipment on your car

Note the heat shield over the exhaust headers....anyone ever seen one of those in real LIFE?

I think he still hasn't found it

These things use coolant? I thought they used oil like all 911's. I think I may have a problem......

Wow everyone is punchy today, must be all the sugar.

FLT951

Really? Sugar? In the gas tank or in the coolant?
