Steve's Cups with their new owner. They completely change the look of the car. Although I really need to get that mark where the rub strip came off painted!

Mine are stock C4 wheels. I liked the look at first, now love them The roads are terrible in Nova Scotia, and these 17's work well for daily driving.

Car color and wheel color make a big difference, as big as the wheel style almost, and this combination, the Cup IV 18, is awesome, one of the best pairings I have seen. Even the tire tread adds to the look.

I agree about the color/style. The Cup IV definitely looked better in person...with respect to the photos lighting, camera quality and photographer talent also play a role...my cell phone pic seems to have some green shift is less sharp and not as well composed- but yeah the Cup II are meh.
But time for me to be more practical- I've been through the hinterlands of NS and the roads in/around DC are not too far behind. I didn't think the bright silver would be as compelling on the CupII without the additional accent lines. I may go back at some point...or join the CIII crowd....right now my second set is the factory flats w/snows and I don't have storage available for a third. :-(

I like the patina, car has 'tude. Where's the tailpipe tho? Suppose paint affords the opportunity for some styling cues

They look like the updated Fuchs. AFAIK, smallest diameter is 19. Maybe there is a way to get decent fitment doing the rear wheel on the front routine, not sure of the offset range.

It would be Awesome if you guys offerd any of your wheels with a high enough offset to work optimally on a 928...Hint hint

Unfortunately 8.5 wide fronts with an offset of 45 just doesnt cut it
