Deciding between my turbo twists or 993 Cup 2s

[Eurotrs]

I have both 17x7.5 front and 17x9 rear, Trying to decided which ones I am going to put good tires on. I am also lowering the front another inch or so.

Go cup3, and remove the turn signals from the front fenders. They break the lines of the car imho.
OH! And give me your pop-out windows! :P

Twists! Always look better static :)

Those are cup 1s you've got on the back, not 2s...

[Pablo]

Cup 1's for me

[Scotts73SB]

Cup1 but im biased. :)

[Bug@5speed(US)]

Soft spot for the cup 1's

to me it's more about stance, like which ones fit or don't fit directly under the fender

Hi

I like them both, I had 3 piece Cup 1s on my old 1302.

Are they both genuine Porsche wheels? I think some of the replica ones would be heavy

cup 1 would be nice on your car, original 18s turbo twist would look nice with fat fenders. But its really what you like.

[Jim]

Definitely i choose the twists!!!

[Eurotrs]

They are both reps, I know they're really heavy, both are the same offset and sizes. 17x9 rears and 17x7.5 fronts

SteveC those 3 piece cup ones look amazing, that's a great looking car.

Hi

Thanks, they were Japanese copies, very lightweight and made by Superlight, 17x8s on the front and 17x9s on the rear, my new 1303 will have the same Aero fenders again.

i like cup 3, i have them in my car, replicas, 17 X 7.5 offset et 52
what is the offset of yours ?

also a 996 red spare in 17 inch , fits like a glove in the trunk

[NO_H2O]

Cups for me

[Rob]

I vote for the Cups, love 'em.

[wrenchnride247]

Cup's...twisties are getting put on everything. I even seen some on a VR6 Corrado :shocked:

[Eurotrs]

I think I am going with the Cups, who wants to buy the twist?

[itHaKa]

if offset is et52 for the fronts (7.5 inch ) , i want them
will you sell me the front ones only ?

by the way, both rims are cups, twists are cup 3

[petevw]

Twists.

[zen]

Late to the party, but with a slightly different angle. I'd go twists unless you are considering painting the rims, then I'd go Cups. Cups look bada$$ painted.

the offset is 52 and they are 7.5 fronts but I will only sell as a set if I decide to sell.

I dont think I am going to paint them.

[buggyboyshane]

hey buddy im fitting a fully chromed set of turbo twists onto a 68 flat screen bug, i have 17x7.5 et 52 for front and 17X9 et 47 for rear.

front is getting dropped spindles and narrowed 2inches

just by offering wheel up at rear i see im going to have to put 20mm spacers possibly on rear, and its gonna stick out....... am i gonna need wider wings? if so by how much......

any help greatly appreciated :)

[Supa Ninja]

I would say Cup 2's but those are 1's, so twists are my vote!

[711302]

I vote for the Twist.
