Thinking of swapping wheels - Cup1s to ?

[JTL]

I have a set of Cup 1 17s, Speedlines, for the street. They look nice but are really heavy. I'm almost regretting the sale of my original Fuchs eventhough they were 6s and 7s.
My current track wheels are a set of powder coated Remotec 16" 8s and 9s.

I do like the idea of having 17" rims on the car and would like to find some lighter wheels for the street. Any suggestions?

Euromeister's are getting a lot of run around here lately.

a guy on RL 911 just posted a new set with tire - cheap $1600 shipped

I would buy them !

But I no money!!

Thanks for the replies. I'll have to make a decision to move forward with this. I would probably sell the cup1s first along with a pair of manual sport seats to generate the necessary ca$hflow for the wheels. My track wheels have Toyo Proxes on them so I can run them on the street for a little while.

Looked quickly on RL but didn't see the add. Did the EMs come with tyres? 'Course I believe Euromeisters are made at Zuffenhaus here in Charlotte or Monroe I guess - a new set would probably be pretty pricey?

Our host sells the EM's. Very inexpensive for 17's (Under $800 for 4 wheels).

^^^this.

Support our host, and get a decent deal on wheels. From the reports of early adopters, the quality is pretty good.

I sent a set of 4 sixteen inch fuchs to Lindsey Racing and had them converted to 17's for a nominal fee: LINDSEY P2 at LINDSEY RACING - Your Porsche Performance Parts Center



I'd do it again in a heartbeat

Nice pair of coupes! I would probably go with a set of 17x7 and 17x9s.

Thanks, mine are 9"s & 11"s, but I'm sure Lindsey will do anything you want and they will do any offset too, so no adapters needed just use your original spacer setup, bolt up and go!
