'contrary to an all too popular misconception, there is no such thing as "Cup 1" and "Cup 2" wheels - this has been a constant source of confusion when trying to talk to someone about these wheels

for the record, the wheels that come on this car in 17" form are "C2 Turbo" on the early cars and "993 Cup" which became available on the later cars (the C2 Turbo continued to be available)

there are multiple widths and offsets for both models




the misnomer came about from a car that was never sold to the US - the 911 cup car, a european model, came with the C2 Turbo wheels - however, the Turbo with those wheels was not out yet - also, what you could call the true "Cup" wheels were MAGNESIUM - anyway, the wheels got dubbed "Cup" over there by the enthusiasts who didn't know any better at the time, becaue they "looked" like the ones on the Cup car (but not by Porsche) - then when the 993 Cup wheel came out, those same enthusiasts perpetuated the misnomer and called that one "Cup 2"

but we will use the correct designations here - consequently you will see your posts get edited if you use the incorrect designation - please try to use the correct one though, we have a lot better things to do than continue to edit things like this

i hope this clears that up'

I was wondering why wheel enhancement called the "cup 1s" the C2 Turbos. Now I get it. I think i'll still call them cup 1's though...
