A million times this. Look at the picture with the hipster guy, the rear wheel is almost the same height as his hips. Cup cars have 18" don't they?

That’s hilarious. 😂 It also looks slightly better than the Nubbin. “Isn’t that weird ?” - Goldmember.

I could be wrong here, but that’s not a Cup car.

Correct, it's not. This is a cup car, and confirmed that they have 18" rims: https://www.porsche.com/usa/motorspo...3-cup/chassis/

Not a cup car. Not even a GTS. I believe them to be 19’s but maybe 18’s. I saw that pic on Facebook but he’s posted here too. BBS re88?

Just when you thought the back of this car couldn’t possibly get any worse..... Someone goes ahead and steps on the brakes revealing the most ghastly brake light arrangement I’ve ever seen.

It is very difficult for me to take a good pic of a wide body 991 from behind... this may be no different. they didn't do a great design job on the back, but I would expect it looks much better in reality

Thanks for agreeing. Glad to see others feel the same.

Yes, 991 GT3 Cup has 18 I believe. And it looks oh so sweet. Plus, we'd probably never have pothole issues.
