Default Feeler: 17" Cup1s with good S-02 tires.

just looking to get an idea of what these would go for. they are spaced to run on our 930T and there is a decent amount tread left.
upgrading to Fikse or Kinesis wheels so we wont really need these anymore...

ideas?
offers?


Pics to come shortly...

For reference, I paid $500 for a set of four Cup 1's recently - no center caps though.

The wheels are straight and true, but have some cosmetic issues, mainly scratches, nothing some sandpaper wouldn't take care of and a re-spray or powder coat. The tires are old and kinda shot, I could probably squeeze some mileage out of them (but won't).

My plan is to have the wheels reconditioned, probably powder coated, then spoon on some new tires. Should be a nice upgrade to the '85.

Some pics of the wheels:









Here's the before and after:





My final cost for the wheels will probably be about what I would have paid for a used set in excellent shape, so no real $ savings the way I went, but it was an easy local purchase, so that worked out well. -Ed

I'm in the market for some 17's with rubber and have a budget of 800-1000 depending on condition

i figure i'd be looking to get around $1200 or so plus shipping...

Actually, its all the rage with the 928 crowd these days. And if you look closely, you will see that's its actually a duallie setup on all four corners!

The things handles like you wouldn't believe! Ha ha...

No really, I was trying to get an idea of how they would look and then to try to do some photo shop work on the wheels to see what color I am going to get them powder coated.

So far I'm leaning towards the factory silver color, but a part of me wants to be adventerous and go for white, or dark silver/charcoal. Can't decide...

nice contrast for a clean effect.

Sorry this took so long, was extremely busy with too many other things...


Anyways, rears are 17x9s with a 15et and the fronts are 17x7.5s(i may have to double check on the width) and 23et.
also, i have to double check for a pt# to confirm them to be a real Porsche wheel and not a knock-off...

Those sound like aftermarket wheels, I don't think that Porsche ever had wheels with those dimensions. Those are early offsets but that style wheel only came on late cars, as far as I know.

very possible, they were on the car when we bought it and last i checked, 88 930 turbos didn't come with cup wheels... they fit perfectly with the turbo factory 1" spacer!
