Those look like 968 base wheels not Cups.

No, they are 16" Cups, we're also referred to as "Star-Fish", and were the base model wheels for not only the 968, but the 964 as well. This set is from a 964

These also look good on a 924S and 5 lug 931s.

Per the linked article, the 16" wheels were "Cup style". The 17" wheels were Cups.

FWIW, from the article-


In 1992, the Design 90 was replaced by five spoke cast aluminium rims (Cup Style). These were made available in 16" to 18" sizes with widths from 6" to 10"

So, a number of us mere mortals have referred to these as Cup 1 wheels. The article is clear that there is no differentiator based on terminology based on wheel diameter.

16", 17" or 18" - it makes no difference. Cup style, or Cup 1 appear to equally applicable descriptions per the article cited. Same applies to the terms used for Cup 2 wheels.

I note that there are specific descriptors out there that do differentiate between a 16" and a 17" 5 spoke Aluminum alloy wheel and the term used to describe them - but there is no titled difference in the PET.

Regardless, IMHO there is no ill intent on the seller to misrepresent his articles.

Thank you Sir.

They're also called Design 92 Wheels. I wasn't aware of them until I picked up a set a couple of weeks ago for my 87 S that has been hibernating for the past 6 years
