Just awesome.


wait a min, I just read you're running full camber. How much would they rub if you stood the tire back up to "street" levels?

No problem, if there is no rubbing at full + camber then there's no issue with less

PS

There's tons of room in there well slightly over enough

I am selling them for $500/set. They were used for ~300 miles.
Three wheels are perfect, one has a small scratch on it.

Thank you. I think Glacier Blue is quite a rare color; sort of a predecessor to Polar Silver.

I bought these wheels in 18x8.5" & 18x10".

That glacier blue looks really good with those wheels. I like the rears.

FWIW, I think the Cup 4 wheels really suit the lines of the 944 and IMO the style of the wheel only looks right in 18" and 19". The 17" version is too compressed (short, fat spokes) and was clearly a design afterthought. If value is part of the picutre they are hard to beat but I wanted something a bit more special, hence the RH 3pc purchase.

I had a great season with these wheels 9"s all around on 255/40's. For early offset looks, they could benefit from spacers, fronts and rears look a little sunk-in but I haven't bothered they're only for track but they look really good in person and suite the car very well. I've gotten quite a few compliments

The sunk-in I was talking about

OK rookie "wheel spacer" question: Do the spacers you used with these rims mount on top of the factory spacer (that bolts to the hub), or did you remove the factory spacer and remount with longer bolts directly through the hub and out through the wheel ?

I suppose a pic would help answer my question, so if anyone has one please post.

Thanks !
