Default Want to upgrade to a SWEET 3 spoke steering wheel in black?

Edit:
Just to clarify, I have the black 3 spoke wheel as pictured below.
I would like to trade it for a similar condition grey 3 spoke wheel and airbag.
Classic grey, Stone grey, Meteor grey all greys considered.


Thank you.

Then trade me your similar condition Classic Grey wheel and airbag.

Air bag cover = plastic with gold crest.

Not looking to sell, just want to trade.

Wheel and bag are marked as coming from 2003 Boxster.

If interested, please PM me.

Thanks

Craig

Classic gray 3-spoke might not exist. This was not a 986/996 color. Some late 993s got 3-spoke wheels from Personal department, but I'm not at all sure any of them where Classic gray.

What does PET say on the subject?

I think in the 996 they might have called it 'graphite' grey , but I'm not sure. Either way, there IS a 996 wheel that matches the Classic Grey very well. I am after one too, but with the leather airbag cover.

Craig you have a pm...

I've had 996 grey and 993 Classic grey side by side. I felt that there is a difference in hue. On the other hand, this could have been partially due to longer sun exposure.

No Classic Grey for OEM 3-spoke.

I too have been looking for a 3-spoke grey that matches well - without luck.

Any photos out there of a 3-spoke grey in a Classic grey interior?

Here's a pic of my 2002 C2 Cab grey steering wheel, I don't know if this is the classic grey you are referring to:

Thank you for that great image, however I should have been more clear:
What I'm looking for is an image of a 996 "grey" (Graphite ?) 3-spoke in a 993 Classic Grey interior.

This 996 version of grey looks "lighter"/ whiter than Classic grey to me.

Mike thanks for the picture. If you can post or just tell us the interior code we can look it up for ref which 996 color grey that is.

I agree it looks a little lighter than 993 classic grey, but it is a cab and it looks bright in there.
