I believe those wheels are Speedline RS cups - OEM on some RS 993s. Hard to find 7.5x17 & 9x17 Hope this helps.

For my money those are the ultimate wheels for our cars. I think they are Kinesis Supercups. Follow this link or search on Google for kinesis supercups etc. to confirm. As I recall you could order the centers in different finishes to further customize the look of your ride.

I"ve got a similar set of 3 piece wheels in 18" that I'm going to sell. They are not the same, although they are pretty cool in their own right. I can send you pics if you are interested. My car has a lot of suspension work and 18" was too rough for a daily driver so I backed off to some 17" cup wheels. You can get a hint of what the 3 piece wheels look like in my avatar.

I looked for some of the wheels that you show in the pic, but could never find any at anything like a price I wanted to pay.

Good luck

Yeah, believe those are Supercups. I think Speedline made the originals. Kinesis makes a wheel that looks nearly identical, I believe. I saw a set for sale recently here in the classifieds. About $3000. They might still be there.

Would those be the same Speedlines as on a 964 Turbo S? If so, there is a set of OEM for sale on PCA San Diego classifieds (parts section):
