Would 964 Cup 1's fit? or the 965s? I found these on craigslist and it got me thinking... http://houston.craigslist.org/pts/5244802894.html

Three Wheelin'
Yes
Yes, I used them on my 964 C4 and they worked well. Very similar to the 993. You'll need spacers to look ideal though..
That is also a good price as long as they are true and straight. I paid $800 to have mine refinished with the Porsche Silver and sanded down so surface was also smooth.
Good luck!

Thanks guys, the reason why I ask is because they are my favorite wheels.. I actually don't fine cup 2s attractive at all, but cup 1s are really simple and clean looking

Sure. Can't find a picture of a different set on the faux RS, but my fastest laps ever were on Cup 1s with a magical set of Hoosiers way back when.
(For the snow tires on the 4S, I just use a 3/4" spacer with the comically narrow 235's out back. 215's up front.)

Cup 1s have become quite rare and expensive these days. So the price of the set in the CL listing is quite good actually, even if they have to be refinished. Those are the Turbo sizes so even better!
BTW, Ken, the wheels on the C4S in the photo are replicas so the offsets are slightly different.

Just the OE 8s up front @ 52mm, replica 9s rear @ 47. But back in the track days it could have been 7.5 or 8 up front--just depended on tire management.
Funnyism is that I let RS America #2 go way back when with some OK looking Kinesis wheels. Never thought there would be the day when keeping the OE wheels was the smart move.

Cup 1s were a dime a dozen 10 years ago, I went through a number of sets... But so were longhoods and 4-cams, and...

Speaking of 4 cammers, I just made up another thread with 4 cam content: https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum/897293-ot-olden-days-porsche-fun.html
