I like the BBS center caps. I have the JDM 3D ones. I think the 3D in silver, if available, would look really nice on your car. It really finishes off the look.

Butzi Gear and SupremePower have the adaptors. I have Supreme Power's version and I like it alot.

I have always liked the BBS caps. When I was doing a set of LM’s for my Polar C4S, my mechanic offered to make me a set of custom center caps by hacking up a set of Porsche crests. He has since passed away (RIP Vinnie Colosino) but perhaps you can find someone willing to make you a similar set. He used a lathe and I was very happy with the results.

I've had these wheels on for over 10 years and love the look, but was thinking of bringing back the original look. Should I pull the trigger on the 17" CUP wheels, what's your expert advise?

Default Cup 11 wheels

I am new to this having bought my car a month ago. It has the original wheels, Cup 11 17.

I find the Technology or Turbo Twist variations in 18 pretty good looking but they are similar to the wheels on my 21 year old Boxster S.

My last shot at the decision you are contemplating came with a 79 928 and I wound up with two sets of wheels one I silver the other in Petrol Blue Metallic in the “phone dial” the car was made with. I like them both and I am thinking of doing the same with my C2S.

On balance I like original wheels.

Boy oh Boy! That is the ticket. Those black centre caps just complete that look. I would go with black or silver to cover those centers.

I will say this again and again. Those e88s in that subtle gold with your colour car is one of the best color combos on this planet!!!!

Doesn't hurt to have another set of wheels

But inclined to think with your spoiler + RS front end the Cup wheels won't be so great. You should upgrade to some Tramonts speedlines

I agree with you. I'm also thinking about swapping the decklid to the original basket handle, which I'm so glad I kept. Just pondering..

Have you seen the 993 RS wing?

IMO, it is the best looking wing for a NB 993 - it flows perfectly with its lines, and looks like it belongs there versus looking tacked-on.

BTW, I had the same wing as yours on my NB, and replaced it with an RS one.
