I have the 18" turbo twists, but RH AG Cup wheels on the 993, which would look great on the 928S4. I think wide polished lips, with 5 spokes, 18" with various centers (painted to match) or silver centers are my favorite.
The 996 Carrera 5 spoke look great as well, as do many others.....but polished lips, 5 spokes seem to work best.

I want these wheels so bad.





Swedish sales add says they are Speedline. 964 3.6 Turbo used similar but I'm not sure if these are them or different offset. 964 T3.6 are 8x18 ET 52 and 10x18 ET61. There are two versions, one with silver and other with polished center part.

Erkka, those wheels do look nice on our cars. There's a guy in GB who sells one, two and three piece wheels on eBay. His prices are very good compared to what one would pay here in the US - even after international shipping.
I haven't personally dealt with him, but I did inquire on shipping to the US, and he got right back to me, and seems like he's somewhat negotiable. He's also got 100% feedback.
He's currently got one piece wheels with the look that you like for GBP 850.00, which seems like a good deal to me. It also looks like the offsets are right.

Tony,

Yes, those RUF wheels are sweet. I would love to see a set on a 928. They are my second favorite 911 wheel.

BTW, I hope USAir keeps their hands off you guys.

Those with center painted to Oak green metallic and rim shiny like on Chuck's midnight blue metallic GTS and then change brakes from black to silver.

Anyone want ok condition factory Cup II 8x17 ET70 and 9x17 ET55 set? Only £850.

Anyone here on the forum have a set of Cup wheels that have been stripped and polished instead of chromed? Someone posted a set of chromed on this thread, but haven't seen polished.

Speaking of ET and offset. This site should make those and some other concepts like aspect ratio and plus sizing very clear.

Wow Mel, great score! I didn't think that Dave would ever part with those. He loved the look from what I could tell.
Very nice wheels. A strong candidate for the answer to the question of this post.
Very unique wheels.
Post a thread w/photos when you get them on your car. There will be plenty of interest.

I was crazy for these 7 spoke HRE's before I got my Forgelites. Unfortunately, I couldn't justify the cost!
