I love the Cup II wheels on the 993 in fact when I owned my silver one I sourced a pair of factory 8x17s for the fronts and matched to my 9x17 rears allowed a very aggressive stance and ran 245 fronts and 275 rears, when I sold car but original 7x17s back on car as agreed in negotiations with the buyer. Someday will own another 993 and back on they go

8x17" Cup II on front axle .. Page 5, post #74
+1 .. Cup II's on the 993 car is a classic look. The 8" wide 17" Cup II factory winter/snow tire wheel when fitted to the front axle looks great.
Its a nice chassis set-up with a slightly wider summer tire section to boot... see post# 74, page 5 for pic's.
Sourced a set of 18" Cup II aftermarket wheels years ago after viewing a silver coupe w/18" Cup II's in Rudy's 993 fleet.
Unfortunately the 18" Cup's continue to sit on a shelf. My .02 is the OEM 17" Cup II's look good, and the aftermarket 18" Cup II's look even better .... more better...

its a matter of context i think
cup 2's are very nice on a nb, but tt's are more suitable for wb imho
i get that some love cup 2's but hating on tt's is pretty goofy... how can u possibly say they don't look great?

Having one direction twist to the wheels drives me nuts. YMMV.
