Default 5 Original 993 Wheel Options?

I've searched rennlist as well as the Internet, but I can't seem to find the original 5 wheel options available for 993's. I know a couple, but didn't realize there were 5 (according to wiki.) Would someone be able to tell me exactly what to search for or where I can find this info? Thank you...

Ah, thank you. I didn't think they would consider 16 cup and 17 cup different wheels for this purpose. I appreciate your help.

Default Below is all...

...you need to know. 16" 993 wheels? Not so much...difficult to find tires in this diameter. Sure there are some, but not as many as you'll find in 17" or 18".

Default Twists

And I believe that the twists could be had in either solid spoke or hollow (Technical) spoke.

This may help too on wheels. Posted in the last month or two by another RLer, but I can't remember who.

Great reference

I see those on the list are recommended summer wheels, but were all those available as a factory option?

These wheels all have Porsche Part #s. I would think they would be a factory option. As an example, my car was delivered with 18" hollow Spoke wheels.....
