PO installed them, just making sure as to whether or not they are Cup IIs.

Are they 16's or 17's? I would guess they are 16" 968 factory wheels.

I thought cup II's had the round spokes & cup I's had the square spokes.

They look like replicas (since they're 17's, not 16's) of the late-model 968 Cup I's.

Well I just looked it up in my 924/944/968 book and that style is no doubt the Cup I's offered on the 1994 968. They were listed as 16's however (exact same style spokes though). The book lists optional 17's, but has no picture, so I don't know if the 17's were a different style (Cup II's?) or not.

I dont know they dont like like cup 1, and the 968 CS came with the cup2's
i think they are some after market wheels, just take on off and look on the inside, see if you see a name brand, or factory PN

if they are heavy rims they are probably aftermarket.

the cup I's changed from 92/93 to 94. These are the 94 style, that's why they don't look like cup I's or cup II's.

The 92/93 came with cup I's (wider spokes)
the 94 came with these (cup I's?) (thinner spokes)
The CS came with cup II's (more rounded)

Either way, not sure if they came factory in 17" or not.

All you need to do is to find the part number, if they don't have it they are replicas.
