Default Selling my 18" 993 Cup Wheels.

Finally decided to sell my wheels.

Here's the scoop:
The wheels are made by Mille Migla (993 Cups didn't come in 18" from the factory). The fronts are 7.5 and rears are 10 inches. Not sure about the offset, but on my S2, there was some slight rub on the outer fender. On an early car, a small spacer would make them fit perfect, on a late car - the fender would need to be rolled (Turbo S would fit fine). The wheels are straight, no rash, and in very good condition. Couple of chips here and there. Painted in dark grey.

I have a couple choices of tires, all in 225/295 combo.

1. Michelin Pilot Sports - about 3/32s left.
2. Michelin Pilot Sports Cup - 1-2 track days left
3. Bridgestone G-Force R1 slicks - 1 track day at most.

I could send all the tires if you really wanted to pay for shipping. The R1s are mounted on there now, but i can mount and balance any of the other tires on there if you'd like, or send me a set of your own tires, or tires from TireRack for me to mount/balance.

Here are a couple small pics - I can email larger ones - the upload didn't let me do pics over 100k.
Asking 900 OBO.

Last attempt. Correction - fronts are 8.5s, and the rear offset is 47.

Hey CT944-- How did it make the N/A feel? Did it change the feel/handling of the car coming from 15/16" wheels? I've currently got 15" fuchs and would like slightly bigger..but not HEAVY
thanks
Mike

it felt heavier, and the car literally stuck to the road, no chance of loosing traction with those 18's. the 18's took away the agility/go-cart feel of the car. steering is tougher as the front tire was very wide.

it was a thing i did for looks, but they were not practical for everyday driving and back road fun!

hope that helps..

ps - the D90's that are pictured in my avatar were the best combo i tried, the staggered 16 inch set-up was perfect, plus they were light and modern looking.

spacers on the front of an early car? are the early 85 a different setup? i have spacers on the back that are almost 1", you had to take these off to fit the wheels?

Are these gun metal in color? They do look really nice.

Thanks, Lee
