I have a set of Carrera Lightweights 8 x 18 and 10 x 18 and a set of Cup II's in 7.5x17 and 9x17 that I'm looking to sell.

How much are you looking to get for the lightweights? Do they come with tires? I have a buddy that is looking for a set. Any intrest in a set of Fikses?

Cheers, Joel
P. S. Could you send me or post a close-up.
They are the factory polished centers that were standard on 964turboS and optional on 964turbo and 968turboS.
Lets chat soon. I would like to know who you are sending yours out to. I am getting all the nuts/bolts out as we speak to send them out for refinishing.
I will send you a closeup to your email address.

Thanks guys for all the kind words. I have gone thru a comprehensive amateur restoration on the car, front to back. No nut/bolt was left unturned, everything is new, front to back. I should have some pictures soon. The target is Hershey in late April. Hopefully I will be able to pull it off.

Raj, more power to you!

Smokie, the Ronal Teddy wheels are 4-lug so you'd need adapters. But they would look, what do the kids say, DOPE.

I agree. Aside from original equipment as in the 968TS, I don't care for "busy" wheels though and find the clean lines of the Cup1 wheels match the 944/968 perfectly and are hard to beat as looks go. There's no way I'm putting 18 inchers on the Cab.

I have a factory set of Cup 1s with 965 part numbers on my 951 Cab and love them (7.5" fronts & 9" rears). Pity they're a bit heavy. I keep hoping that someone will turn out a lighter replica version but the current ones out there (Mille Miglia, Borbet, etc.) are several pounds heavier than the factory set.

I like the 996 C2 Five Spoke wheels as shown above but if I could find a set of the RUF wheels....Is this someone's car here maybe? I remember when the owner in NC was selling it.
