Default New 924 S Owner! Questions on part sourcing

Hello all! Recently dived into my first Porsche, and first project car, a 1987 924 S.

Pulls hard, body is in fair condition, the interior needs some TLC.

A couple of questions (feel free to link me to other threads):

1) Where can I get genuine Porsche wheel center caps? Mine are silver, but I would like to get colored ones. (Willing to trade BTW)
2) What tires do you recommend for 15" rims? Not that experienced picking tires in general but this is the major purchase I need to make soon
3) Besides classic9, where do people recommend getting interior carpet/seats/panels? I may get a new steering wheel from c9, but they are too expensive for me to redo the whole interior with them.

Happy Shifting.

Congrats...welcome to the forum.

Re: center caps...dealer, pano, ebay, or the RL classifieds.
Re: tires...depends on your intent. High performance choices are severely limited in 15" but you should be able to find a few decent all-seasons. Tirerack has a couple [Fuzion, Kumho] with 400 TW.
Re: interior, carpet, seats, panels...plenty of good, used, interiors coming out of track conversions and parts cars. Would start there unless you just want to spend $$$.

Love the Guards Red. I put Falken Ziex on my 87 924S and will not buy any other tire now.
