Default Cups or Twists?

I’ve never really liked Cups, but somehow they look good to me on this cab. Cups or twists?

There's literally no wrong answer! Great to have options.

Is it my imagination or are Cup II's on the driver's side and twists on the passenger side? Fyi: I don't drink..lol 😆

I looked at every wheel and photo thread for 964 and 993 for about a month and in the end, had to be Twists…they just got it right.

Speedline RS wheels is the only way to go on a 993 narrow or wide body. Cup or twist just looks ordinary.

Default Hollow turbo twist for me. So easy to clean which is important to me as I age

Twists over Cups here too, but rim size also matters, 18" of any style seems "just right".

Some great looking cars! Maybe both is best...anyone have some 18 inch NB twists - 8 inch fronts only - solids are fine

Wheels are easy to change. If you think you like the Cups then run them. You could commit to using up the remaining tire life then make a decision when it's time to buy new tires.

If you decide to change them, it's pretty easy to do that. There's a good market for wheel buyers. It's also pretty easy to source a set of Cups or Twists.

If you have the space, it never hurts to have more than one set of wheels.

If you car is particularly low mileage and has some collector value, then maybe keeping the original wheels make sense (whether they are on the car or not).

Good luck with your new car!

(BTW - both sets of wheels would look a lot better if the car were lowered... )

Thanks Mike. The first car I posted is the one that I am having a PPI done on Feb 5th, so it isn't mine yet. It is just about to turn 21,000 miles. Tires only have about 4,000 miles on them, but are from 2008, so they need to go!
