Default CUp Car wheels on an RS??

I have a 997 Cup Car.
Does anyone know if the Cup car wheels will fit on the new 997.2 gt3 RS's?

i bought one to whomp around on the road when not on the track, but also becaus esometimes it would be nice to drive to the track rather than haul it.
just curious if my spares wheels will fit...would be nice.

bastages!!!

MY RS is white, red graphics. I think i'd like to keep the stock wheels nice and fresh, as-painted. and get a 2nd set of wheels to thrash about.

anyone know if BBS has a wheelset out for that 997.2 RS, with the right center lock? anyone else have them?
who makes the ones for porsche?
funny, i never thought twice about it when i had my 997.1RS but considering the fun im hopin to have with mr 997.2, it might be worth getting a stronger, lighter wheel from BBS or someone else?? thoughts??
(thx in advance).

convert to BBS CUP centerlocks. use CUP S or new 997.2 CUP BBS wheels.

pricey, but i think you will love the result.

spg993tt, have a look at the RS that Porsche is running in the 24h at Nürburgring. According to a recent article in "sport auto" they will use 18" 997 cup wheels with slicks on that car. I guess that means that your wheels will fit!
