Best options for 17" wheels for 964

[ian c2]

What are they ?
IT doesn’t look like the center-bore will take a porsche crest ?

I’m a fan of 17” cup1s , or azev type-A and ruf speedlines as a “period” aftermarket alternative .
Sport classics look good too , but 18” turbo twists suit a coupe 964 to a tee and are factory wheels that look factory .

I’ve had a set of 18” “unobtainium” speedlines for maybe 20 years now , and they look good .
But are terrible to keep clean , and Allthough once looked “rare” plenty are now running imitations .

Are there any options TODAY for 17” wheels that are NEW?

I really do not want to go to 18” as I think they worsen the handling.
I saw the Cup 1 replica but I am afraid they are boat anchors (heavy)

I’ve just found a set of authentic BBS RS 257/258 that I am refinishing for my 964.

I will be selling the OEM Cup1s shortly.

Please PM me if you’re interested in those wheels - they’re in great shape and straight.

Have a 964 C4 with 17 OEM cup wheels. Went to front 225/45 tires w a 5 mm spacer recently, felt it was a positive change.
Do consider - lower profile always effects ride slightly, esp if it is a daily driver.

Cup 1 replicas, although Cup 2's look great.

Fuchs are great for a classic look, in my opinion. As a bonus, they are surprisingly light weight too.

I’m currently on a set of 17” Cup 2’s and every time I look at Cup 1’s that come up for sale, I think I’d rather spend that kind of money on some new Fuchs.

BBS Motorsport = Best of best all time.

Since most of the RS / Porsche / Speedlines are costly or nla and the BBS mag e2_s are gone, I always suggest a set of BBS E87 17". They run about ~4K$ set which is really a value option.

If you run larger brakes, go nuts later on suspension etc, they will allow flexibility being 3 peice wheels.


Hi Eric, "and don't call me Shirley"



Lighter, stronger, faster. Next get the cross brace bar for the steering rack, update the rack tie rods and then an RS or cup steering wheel.

I'm looking for one or two of these 17" Cup wheels:

Thx.
If only it were 17”. I’ll check Porsche Classic.
