Ok I've decided I'm going to do the wheels bright orange with orange carrera script down the sides and maybe even orange badge on the back...should be noticeable in a crowd!!

www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=265472

SO THE QUESTION IS.....has anyone got any tatty old Cup 1's or even Cup 1 replicas they want to get rid of so I can keep the mags as standard???????????????????

I do have a set of 996 C4 wheels I could exchange with...or cash

I seem to remember seeing a 964RS with black paint and orange scripting/alloys at PCGB Festival held at Eynsham Hall a few years ago. Looked fantastic.

Cup 1s are the wrong offset from memory. You need some 993 C2 Cup 2s, I think they're called. Ugly but correct offset.

That really is stunning.

I'm thinking I'll swap the 968 for a 964RS next year and would love a colour scheme like that.

Just my opinion but I think its a crap combo.
It'll look especially bad the first time you brake and deposit a bit of dust on those lovely(?) orange wheels. Unless you're going to jump out of your car every time you stop to wipe them down with a wet tissue!

The new GT3 RS has this colour combo, and there's a 964 RS for sale on www.mobile.de with the combo.

Jason,

Right combo - you've just got it the wrong way round! You want a Orange car with BLACK wheels!

I'm sure the cup 1's are the correct offset.

Undertaker - spoke to him but they said they didn't have any...
