Is this the one that are known as 996 C2 OEM 17"?
Does anyone have a picture of a 964 with them on, or do I have to just try them on for myself?
I have just bought them to have an extra set of wheels, so now I need to decide if I want to use them with R tires or my CUP I's.

Mike, your wheels were originally shipped on the 2000 996 Carrera 4 -
here is a photo on a green 964 Carrera narrow body coupe ... hope this helps

Thanks for the picture Ted, but I still had trouble deciding what wheels to use for track and which to use on regular road.
I went to the garage and tried them on, but I am still in doubt.
I actually think that the 996 wheels fits very well as well, they don't look to modern.
Fact is that I like both, but have of course gotten used to the CUP's.
What do you guys think?

Does anyone have a photo of the Fikse Profile 13 on a 964? I am thinking of a 17" to have minimum weight.
Thanks
Peter

Mike, I really like the 996 C4 wheel on your car - a modern interpretation of the Fuchs wheel ....

Fuchs won't fit on 964's so unless they are custom made Lindsey knock offs you will be hard pressed to find any.
