Cup 2 wheels question

[JM1962]

Would I be right in thinking that if the wheel doesn't have the size and offset stamped either side of the valve it is a copy.

You would.

Depends on the style of wheel. My clubsports have the numbers (and the Fuch name) on the back of one of the spokes.

17" rims with an early offset will be aftermarket (or Ruf[]).

What style are the wheels in question?

Depends on the age of the wheel IIRC they only started stamping by the valve in the mid/late 90's

Oooohhhh.

Mmmmmmmm.

Hang on....... it's coming to me......I can...... I can see them........ they're not Cup2 wheels as mentioned in the thread title are they? [&:] []

Whats the chance of finding a picture of Brian 'Damage' Bolovski after 26yrs: eh? []

Those Cup2 wheels look so good - I may go as far as saying they look better than Cup1s []



(That's for Mik btw, I do think Cup1s look better on 944s, TBH)

BTW Mik - are you buying back your old 944? And if not, why not?

Strange, I assumed they would be the original wheels since they are fitted to my 1995 968, but with no offset and size by the valve they can't be. I shall take one off tomorrow and look at the back to find the answer.

Not sure. [&:]

Whilst it is tempting, the delta to 968's such as this one is now waaay less than it was when I got the '44. Said veeickle has nice leather 911 front seats (not sure what rears look like) and once I'd spent an hour removing those honkin' graphics that would be a damn good lookin car. [8D]

In saying that - I do still very much enjoy hustling the scoob, and despite the fact it has lost "primary family car" status, I did still have both my sprogs + 1mate in it on Saturday. Eldest and his buddies are getting a bit big for folding into the rear of a 44/68 now, so whilst I know both would feel more special than the impreza, suffer less depreciation, and demand more of me to cover the ground at the same pace.... I'm not sure it's worth the effort to change. []
