I searched and didn't find the answer, so sorry if this has been answered.

What is the proper name of the two GTS wheel types? I have a '93 with the more "squared" spokes, and I always understood to be Cup II's. But I have also heard the '94 and later wheels referred to as Cup II's as well.

I attached pics, please clear up for me the names of the '93 GTS wheels in the first pic and the '94 and '95 GTS wheels in the second.

Also, I have heard the later wheels on the '94 and '95 cars have hollow spokes vs non hollow for the '93's. Please confirm this as well.

Thanks,
William

I think the round ones are the cup II's

Cup I on top for the '92/'93 GTS's
Cup II on the bottom for the '94/'95 GTS's (though some say the earliest of the '94 model year did come with left over Cup I's...)

I personally prefer the Cup I wheel to the Cup II wheel... YMMV. I prefer the CIII lightweight from the late 996's to ALL Porsche wheels however!

The first one was also referred as the C2 Turbo Wheel and the one below is the 993 Cup Wheel.

^^^^^^^
True, but I think in both cases the 928 actually had them first and then the 911's got them... also the sizes for the 928 are slightly different with a 7.5" front vs a 7"...again working from memory here, so I might be off a bit, but I think I got the numbers and time line right.

Thanks for the reponses!

I should have remembered Chuck's site for the info.

James, do you have a pic of the 996 wheels you like?

Again thanks,

Actually the 968 had both the C2 Turbo and the 993 Cup II wheels first, then the 928 then the 993.
