yet another rim question

I am looking at a set of wheels and have 2 candidates.

Design 90's 7&8, visually look okay but it looks like there may be a bit of curb rash so I would want to fix them up and paint them. Not a problem but a PITA, maybe I will spray them the colour of my car

Cup Rim's 6&8's, visually perfect as they were refinished and never used. These are also $250 cheaper.

I like the design 90s because they are the "proper" size but also really like the look of the Cups.

Performance is somewhat important but I do have proper track wheels and tires. In both cases I will be buying tires so perhaps I could squeeze a little larger tire on the 6's?

Perhaps someone could photoshop them on to my car?

Are you sure the CupI is a 6-inch? Ive never seen a 16x7, they only came in 16x7 and 16x8 on the 968. Could be a replica maybe.

The D90's on the other hand came in 16x6 also from the 964 front.

I would do the 968 wheels, i have both types (two sets of 968's and one set of D90s) and they look much more modern and sporty compared to the D90's.

not 100% sure, they are listed as Original Porsche. I have asked for the part numbers.

Do you have pictures of your car with the D90's and cups Jon?

A little more info, According to the wheelenhancement websitte the wheels are called C2 5-spoke's and were originally from a C2 or C4, they came in 6,7&8 inch widths. Would I have any fitment issues with these or are the straight bolt on.
