Question What is a "19 inch Carrera S Wheel"?

Hey all,

I just got my Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche last night. I wanted to get one because of some odd reason to piece together the missing history from this car I have embarked on this love affair with - and it is missing the sticker on the inside of the hood. So...
Everything looks great on the COA - like I didn't realize I had "adaptive sport seats, leather" but I'll take it! And yes I did realize they were leather. I just didn't know they were "adaptive".

One item though has me puzzled - it lists 4 Rim Caps with Porsche Crest, and 19 inch Carrera S Wheel?

The car has r17 tires on it.. the rims are 18.5 inches across and are what are referred to I thought as cup wheels - what does it all mean?

Thanks yo.
Brad

what does it all mean?
Someone blew it on the CoA. No 964 ever came w/ 19" wheels oem.
By the way none ever came w/ 18.5" wide ones either.

Stock 964 design 90 fitment
6,7, 8 or 9 x16

stock 964 Cup1 fitment
7, 7.5, 8, 8.5,9 or 9.5 x17

Design 93 stock 964 fitment
7, 7.5, 8 or 9 x17

Speedline stock 964 fitment
8, 9 or 11 x17
8, 9, 10 or 11 x18

Which one depended on the model and options

you might want to PM Jeremy Pinsley on here about the correctness of a COA

Yup... I wanted to get one until I heard that most of them have mistakes. Bummer!

MANY are wrong! And most are worse than yours.

BTW, the only 19" Carrera S wheels I am aware of come on a 997 Carrera S.
