your car looks great, so what the heck is it doing parked inches away from a fence which looks like it's moments from coming down crashing on your car ??!

lol - I was wondering the same thing - kind of an odd-looking area for a beautiful 968 to be hanging out in general (note the "classic" in the background).
As far as the wheels, I'm still somewhat interested in converting from my staggered 18" set-up to a square, 17 x 9" set-up, as it would save a lot of money on replacement tires in the long run, given the track-oriented nature of my car. With Porsche's oddball 5 x 130 mm bolt pattern, 993 Cup (Cup 2)'s are about the only game in town without going the uber-expensive custom wheel route. But since no Porsches that ever wore these wheels came in a square set-up, nobody ever has a set of four 17 x 993 Cup (Cup 2)'s for sale. I've never even seen anyone selling just two 17 x 9's. So, if I wanted to make the switch, I'd have to buy two sets of four, most likely 17 x 7's and 17 x 9's, and sell the four extra 17 x 7's, which no one person would likely be in the market for. So there's a bunch of hassle and expense associated with the extra shipping, all the extra buying and selling, storage, etc. It's looking more and more like I'm going to stay with my current set-up, but drop down a little in tire size, as what I have now is a little too wide for my current wheels (285/35 -18's on 10" wide wheels in back, and 255/35-18's on 8.5" wide wheels in front). I've just rotated my current tires side-to-side, so they still have some thread left, since I haven't been to the track in a little while, so I'm not going to make any changes right away, but any ideas or suggestions are welcome.
