Default Anyone with Pics of 3 piece supercups..

on their car? Or any recomendations on better looking wheels. I am going to buy an extra set for DE's,..Think I'll use my turbo looks for the DE's and buy something else for street driving.

Thanks

Personally, if you like the 3 piece 5 spoke look, I would look at the other Kinesis 5 spoke or Gemballa. The Supercups use a 17" face in the 18" wheel and just doesn't have that aggressive look. Check out David in LA's cab with the Gemballas.

I agree 100% with Kim. I just bought a set of lightweight 3 piece BBS wheels for DE and my TT wheels are just being mounted with street rubber.

BTW - if anyone wants to buy a set of brand new 315/30 x 18" Michelin Pilot Cups with 300 highway miles, or a set of 225/40 x 18 Hancook Ventus tires with 150 miles let me know. I'll be posting to classifieds later today

Can someone post a close up pic of a Porsche RS wheel (looks similar to Kinesis Supercup)?

adscab--does the RS wheel use 17" face on 18" rim also?

That Speedline wheel used on the 993 RS street car and the Cup car are identical in the shape of the center casting. The Cup wheel is centerlock so the 5 lug bolt holes are not drilled through and the Cup wheel center is made of magnesium alloy so it's lighter (and more fragile). The street wheel is heavier.

Here's a photo of my C2S with the Kinesis Supercups. The centers are painted Porsche Stone Gray Metallic and the rims are anodized. These wheels are heavier than the 03 twin turbo wheels I currently have mounted.

...or the Kinesis K58R with the center anodized in black or grey (these are what I'm hoping my next set of rims will be)...would look great on a silver or yellow 993 IMHO
