I just took some pics of my car with gray cupII wheels.

 

Very nice look.

That's such an unusual color combination, I saw it on a 95 cabriolet at the dealer in Kansas City in 2001. It was even more unusual because the convertible top was chestnut.

 

nice, been thinking about doing that myself. what color gray did you use?

 

I painted those with a rattle can about five years ago and they still great. They have falken azenias for running stock class at autox events. I am considering doing this with my other 17" cups I am ready to paint the second set for some hoosier r compounds I just bought. I cannot remember the shade of gray.

 

Bullitt.

I like it a lot.

 

I like it Ben. The gray goes very nice with aventurine green.

 

Looks familiar

 

Looks like I have a twin. Nice color combo bart!

 

Looks great, LOVE the colour combo! Do I spy early-style (and better IMHO) sport seats?

 

You mean these sport seats?

 

Yup, those be them.

 

Down to the tires, even!

I usually am wearing MY02s, though. The Cups were my track wheels, and will soon be replaced by BBS (getting refinished in a black diamond look at the moment).

 

Let me know of you want to sell the my 02 wheels when you get the bbs!

 

Dayum .. I like those seats ... You know, the more I see these cars lowered on Cup II's .... the more I like it :-) So .. just a technical question .. do you race on 17" because the difference between that and an 18" tire isn't appreciable and the 17" tires are more affordable? Do the 17" combo's actually handle better at speed on a track? Just wondering out loud here ...

 

I have a vague recollection that Walter Rohrl once said that 993s feel/handle better on 17s.

I can't recall where I read that, and am sure that I will be very quickly corrected if I am wrong.

On the other hand, all of the 993-based factory race cars rode on 18s - so he might have been talking about street cars used for predominantly street use by non-Walter Rohrls.
