Need new wheels

I am considering changing wheels on my car. I bought the car with 17" twists and think I like the way the early 90's cup wheels look better. Does anyone have pictures of a 3.2 with the cup wheels? I assume I could sell mine and buy the cup wheels with little out of pocket $? Anyone have an idea of what mine are worth and what cup wheels cost.

TIA

I've got a nice set of Gold BBS 7/8x16's I'm about to sell. I'm sure they'd add some Bling Bling to that Carrera.

Those twists will be one of the first "major" expenditures I make, once I get the safety/ longevity stuff out of the way. I say keep them! If you want others, I will trade you my 6X7X16 Fuchs.....

Thanks guys...Eric, you are right. I am looking for the Cup I wheels. I looked at Mikkel's profile and his car had phone dials (I think). Maybe he has new wheels and hasn't updated his profile?

I agree with the posts above & really like the way the twists look. If you are determined to get another set I would be shopping for some Fuchs. Just my .02.

Isn't that funny - what we need is a big clearing house - everybody get's a ticket - but you have to bring a set of wheels with you. You have 1 hour to shop and with your ticket you get to leave with the set of wheels you want.
