What a difference 17" wheels make
#16
Marlon,
Mille Miglia (Italy) is the usual aftermarket 17" Cup II wheel & comes in 7.5 and 9 widths. Also make an 18" version.

Hartmann makes replicas of many of the popular Porsche wheels including Cup IIs, 996 lightweights, various 997 wheels (including 18" versions of the 19" only wheels). TUV approved and not too heavy. I weighed their 17x7.5 Cup II and they were just 1.5lbs heavier than the 968/928 GTS 7.5s, and a fair bit beefier in the rim area too.

Hartmann doesn't list what? 17x7.5s? That's what I have on my car now.
I would like to see 18" Cup IIs on a 993. Love the basic design, interested how it would scale.

Hi RallyJon,
A German company did make 18" Cup II replicas. If you search, I have seen them on a thread somewhere. They didn't look too bad. You can even get 18" Fuchs if you fancy old-school.
Cheers,
David

I love my 17" Cups. I "used" to jones for 18s (and still love the MY 02s), but ever since I lowered the car with PSS9s, the 17s look soooo right, and fill the wheel well perfectly. So not only gorgeous, but a ride I truly enjoy as my daily driver!!

I'm waiting for the Rota Fox 17" Fuchs replica to become available in high offsets. It would look fantastic on a "retro" 993 with ducktail and carrera script on the side.
One replica that caught my eye was the downsized (from 19"-18") 997 Carrera Classic. Looks too big for 993s in 19" but the basic design is very 993 friendly:

I have only had my 993 (first Porsche) for several months. The 18'' OEM sport design wheels are beauties and handle extremely well (PSS9 suspension, Bridgestone S03 Pole Position)...Of course 285s in the back help for that as well
As I plan on doing considerable amount of winter driving, I would be interested in buying some 17" cup wheels - Anyone have any for sale?

There's a Swedish guy on the 964 board who has these. I've seen numerous pictures of his car on PC Sweden's homepage as well as here on RL. His name is Peter B. Not positive if that's his nick here but run a search on the 964 board and I'm sure it will yield something. His car is Bourdeaux red if I'm not mistaken. IMHO the CUP II wheel has a nice classic look, but doesn't look right in 18"..
