Question Were "Cookie Cutters" Standard Equipment in '84

I bought my brother an '84 sales brochure to go with his '84 with 33K (was 31 in june).

I thought the cookie cutters were standard, but the brochure shows them under a picture of the 5 spoke rims, and identifies the cookie cutters as optional.

I spotted a few typos in the brochure, and am wondering if this was a mix up?

His car has the sport suspension and adjustable shocks.

Thanks
Tom

I believe cookies were one of the offered optional rims for 84 (along with the other fuchs).

The tire size 215/60/15 came with the optional cookies, as the standard tire size was more like 185/65/15? Either way, it's extremely rare to see a 944 with smaller then 215 wide tires on it, perhaps it was a no cost delete option, like the sunroof?

In europe "standard" tire size was 185/70 VR 15 with Cookie cutters as a standard rim.Most people ordered their cars with 215/60 VR 15 tires.
