You know, I am going to disagree with everyone here (just my opinion)
I think In RKD,s post of the Cup and C3 wheels comparison, that the cup style rims look . . . umm more factory or i don't know, better, to me anyway.
I have those on my car and I have been looking at every rim out there.
It wasn't until I saw the comparison post half way down page 1 that I noticed that both car pictures look the same.
The different wheels don't make that much of a change IMO

My car has the rear fenders slightly rolled, yes. Although I have heard of 285's fitting fine under stock rear fenders on 10" 58mm offset wheels. However, since the rear fenders are steel, it is very easy to give them a roll if needed.
Also, there is a seller on eBay called eurowheelsusa that I bought my aftermarket set from for I believe under $700. I don't see any Carrera III's listed in his store currently, but he may still carry them?

Most likely not sorry the manufacture went out of business

Well, I am looking for CIII wheels too but I prefer the lightweights from the 996 despite the less than optimal front offset.
Any thoughts on finding some of those guys? Also want to paint the lip guards red and the body of the wheel black...thoughts on that?
I could go with the 997 CIII wheel and do the same thing with them if the right deal came along...

I think that'd look awesome...whats the weight difference? Just curious, I wont care -too- much myself.
Im on the forever search of the yes/no answer if the 11s fit the S4 without more work than rollin the lip up.

The 18 x 11's fit very nicely - but depending on the tire, you may need a small spacer (3pm) and need to roll/flare the fender. My experience has been that there is quite a bit of variability in the actual widths of 295/35/18 tires. If you don't want to mess with an of that stuff, get the 18x10's and put a 265 to 285 tire.
Thanks Andrew for the detail.

I know...young man... Was that the ONLY year though? I don't think so. I remember seeing those wheels a lot for awhile anyway. Love them. Maybe I'll just steal the ones out of (or off of if they are mounted) YOUR CAR! That would save me some $$$$ too!
