Fishcop Posted 19September, 2020 Report Share Posted 19September, 2020 Hi All I'm looking for something more interesting that my standard D90s on my 944S2 (late offset, so no fuchs or deep dishes ) ... What have ye? I think I want to stick with 17", but will go to 18". I quite like the look of the Cup1s and Cup2s, as well as the mesh style centres on BBS and Simmons wheels. Speedlines look great, and I love the set of RUF wheels on 'Tree at the moment but $6500 is too rich for me. I'm not a big fan of the Boxster "twist" type rims on 944s though. I know Cam has Cup reps and 17" fuch reps to fit late offset, but I'm going to fish here first. So anyone looking to unload a set of rims, please fee free to PM me - but I think my top dollar would be around the $2k mark with some flexibility depending on tyres etc... ETs to fit late 944s are around 52 for fronts and up to 47 for the rears (all depending on width of course). I'm in Port Mac, but can take a drive or cover transport.

Jason E Posted 19September, 2020 Report Share Posted 19September, 2020 Would you be interested in a set of 16 inch Cups from a 968? They are the same offset/ sizes as the staggered set off the S2. In good condition but not refurbished. Bought them for my S2 just prior to making the decision to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crsedge Posted 19September, 2020 Report Share Posted 19September, 2020 Hi John, Saw these on a recently sold 944, reckon they look great if you could find a set 😎 Fishcop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jason, I did consider yours, but they are essentially the same as my D90s in size/ET/tyre options. My move to 17"+ is for both looks and improved tyre availability.

I just don't think by budget stretches into the more exotic rim/tyre options - otherwise I'd be buying the RUF 17" on Gumtree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted 20September, 2020 Report Share Posted 20September, 2020 I still have these, if they’re of interest. They spent time on a 944 with previous owner, I only saw photos but they seemed to suit it really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe mine was the very 944 that they spent time on I'm trying to keep a little more 'period correct' if I can. I'm surprised you've still got them - they're good looking wheel on 911s and Boxsters of the era. JWM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get a quote from Classic Wheels Australia re a set of the modern Fuchs for about $2700 delivered. They do look the business.

Yes I really like the look of Cup I or Cup II on the 944/968 too. I know Cameron at Classic Wheels Australia has a nice replica of the Cup I available which I'll possibly look at if I have no luck seeing what members here might have gathering dust in the shed There's actually some options out there for the earlier offset, but it gets trickier with the later S2/Turbo offsets. And obviously you pay for what you get and the really nice wheels are pricey... Especially if you have to factor in new rubber too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
