Opinions needed, which looks better

I hate to say this but I think my 930 looks better with the cup2 wheels than the original Fuchs. What do others think?

Fuchs


Cup2s

What difference does it make what others think if you like what you like.

If you want my opinion the fuchs look fantastic and they are correct. The other wheels look totally nausiating and wrong, and they're wrong offset for the suspension on that car.

How can you not like this offset?? And what you don't see in the pics is the view from the back, with 1" wider Cup2s.

hey don't justify it to us, if you like it knock yerself out

I think the II's look like 6 bags of ground up arse on a 930 - sorry

almost (almost) as bad as >gasp< Twists (ducks from daggers from all those here rockin 'em)

as is alwayz said - opinions are like....................

now, about that interior / more pics? Was that typed in invisible typset maybe?

I'm one of the rare guys who's not a big fan of the Fuchs' look, but those Cups have always looked to me as though they were designed for a FWD car. If ever a car was built to have a "dished" wheel, it's the 930!

The Fuchs look great and the Cup 2s look very out of place/wrong on your car.

Fuchs and black headlight rings would look perfect on that car!

I don't think it's a matter of liking he's talking about but a matter of throwing your suspension geometry out of whack and causing premature wearing on some suspension components. Anyway, I prefer the Fuchs and if I had bought a 930 with the Cups on it I'd either haul it home in an enclosed trailer or wear a bag over my head on the way home. Cups may look good on some things but not on a 930. But then, mine is Guards Red and many folks would never be caught dead in a GR car. Individual taste is what makes the world interesting.

I thought Guards Red was THE 930 to have?

Fuchs look better.. but what size front tire is on the fuchs? Sidewall looks supertall.

Also, looks like the front fuchs has a polished lip while the rear one is anodized. Matched would be best, but maybe its just a bad picture/angle?

I believe the stock wheels look best, and also real FUCHS are magnesium-aluminum forged(lighter-stronger), so the overall driving dynamics are a little better.

Just one mans opinion.
