Your car will look great with cup1s but you really need to short out your ride height if you want to do them justice... Even as it is with D90s the car would look great with proper ride height. I would sort that out before the wheels..

I agree, that's on the works, the car arrived yesterday and I order my H&R springs and BELSTEINS HD's today, but the cup I's don't look that bad

I like Design 90's. They're uniquely 964.

Hang onto your D90's because standard cars, are getting rarer and rarer. As our cars get older, original cars will stand out more.

I agree, when I park my stock 993 with RoW ride height at cars & coffee next to modified ones with newer wheels from 996, my car stands out and people stop to look at it.

Opo~
Your car now looks like a 964 should...17 Cup1 with proper ride height !

I agree with hanging on to the D90's from a "all original, from the factory perspective" That said, the wheels are ugly, 16 inch with limited tire choices, and no one wants them. I now have 2 complete sets, any takers?

Design 90 wheels, remind me of 14 inch Fuchs....no one wants them and everyone replaces them.

Actually the choices are still excellent, all the Extreme and Max Performance brands are still available in 16" sizes...the only limited choices are in "R" tires.

I just bought this car in October and it is completely original/stock. I considered installing a set of Cup wheels, but the D90s are really growing on me. It makes the car stand out from the pack, since most all of the other 964s that I see in the local club either have Cup1-2 or aftermarket wheels on them.

At least they are painted silver and NOT chromed. I do not like chrome wheels.
