Default Love my 17” wheels

Yes. I have stock 17” cup II and I love them. And I love them more driving on incredibly crappy Bay Area (Northern California) roads. I mean seriously. El Camino or 101 are worse than third world. I was in Mexico recently and we are worse than 3rd world. Mexico was 100% better. Highest taxes? Check. Worst roads? Check. Pot holes and terrible roads that are hard to explain. I can’t imagine driving these in 18” or anything more aggressive. So in summary. Love my 17”. Plus I think they look the best haha!! Daily driver? Almost. Drive to work 3 out of 5 days. 151k miles and counting. Doesn’t drip any significant amount oil. Big reds? Nope. I painted my factory brakes red. Best bling thing I did. Enjoy!! Oh. PSS10 +10mm ride height if you were wondering. Magnificent setup.

17s rock.

And with wider fronts, they fill the arch and I fit 225/45/17 which are a common size with a wide choice of quality manufacturers.

17's are great on a narrow body look proportionate.

16's are great too although less common they are the most fun on a 993 as well as the most comfortable.

Can't argue with Cup II love! With the car lowered properly, the 17s look great! And the Cups are a classy and clean look that works perfectly with the NB car IMO. Mine has been my DD since 2001 and I swear by the 17s!
