Is it appropriate to share with the community the intention to bid on a 968 item on eBay ? The intention is one of us might save a few bucks; hopefully me <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/blush.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

I realize this is a two edged sword <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/unsure.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> But remember I SAW IT FIRST <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/angry.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

I'm sure I'll get support from the community to make my 968 look good. I've been autoxing with phone dial wheels and they don't quite look right. I also want the change to put 8 inch wheels all the way around for bigger grins at autox and DE. Please NOTICE, these are the very undesirable 16" wheels. Not the very nice, desirable 17", 18", 19" etc. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



Being cheap due to genetics, training and lifelong practice is becoming a curse with autox racing. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/sad.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> This time I'm prepared to win the bid but my kids will starve, we'll have to drive the pets deep into the woods and abondon them and I'll feel guilty whenever I'm not in the 968.



eBay Wheels



For some reason they apologize for Flash. I guess they already know him. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/rolleyes.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



BTW -- there's a Fidanza LWF listed for $365. Item number 140196425192. Have a bidding war for the LWF and leave the wheels alone. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/glare.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

I also find allot of great deals checking classifieds in smaller towns. CL an monkey ads are great places amongst others.



I do have a bad habit of buying stuff I don't need, just because it is cheap.

Speaking of ebay, what's the market price for a set of excellent 17" Cup II's with OK tires? I just lost a bid on ebay for a set that went for $990. plus freight.

a set of 993 Cup wheels, as described, in our offsets and widths, should get at least $1000 plus shipping - i have seen them go for more though



stephen has a set in the parts for sale section here right now

yeah - the set with 7" fronts occasionally goes for less - those 7.5s are a bit tougher to find, and consequently generally pricier - you did very well though

Does anyone know the part number for the 7.5" cup 2s? I believe they are also a 993 part number.

they are a 993 part number - that's because they are 993 Cup wheels - i know the number is here - try a search under the correct name (993 Cup) - it should pull the number - if not, let me know - i'll dig it up
