Speedline 993 'Cup' Wheels
No real point to this thread, other than to share something cool....
Earlier this year I had an opportunity to purchase a NOS (in the original Porsche Motorsport boxes, never removed) set of Speedline magnesium 993rs 'cup' wheels. I doubt you get a chance like that very often, so needless to say I jumped on them to further feed my cool wheel fetish. Not sure how or if I'll ever get to use these, though I like having them in the collection.
The specs are different from the 'regular' 993rs wheels & there is a slight stagger to the rears, where the 'regular' 993rs wheels use the same outer hoop.
Cup = 8.5 X 18" ET53 front & 10 x 18" ET60 rear
993rs = 8 x 18" ET52 front & 10 x 18" ET65 rear
Will update this post with weights once I have a chance...
I had time this morning to finally unpack them & get some pictures.

Those offsets seem perfect for a standard narrow body car .. would there be no problem running the 8.5" fronts with standard suspension at RS height? Why didn't Porsche just have them all made that way? Are there oversteer issues with the wider stance and rubber?
