997.2 Alcantara non-GT3 Wheel Part Number?
I cannot for the life of me seem to find a definitive part number for this thing. It is substantially cheaper than the actual GT3 wheel but the only difference looks like the plastic trim is black and not silver. I can get the wheel at cost I just can't figure out the dang part number and SunCoast will not give it to me.

My Alcantara MACarbon wheel is shot so I was thinking the cheapest route may be to get one of these and swap over the carbon. Or just swap the airbag and sell the MACarbon wheel to someone who wants to refresh it.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Another alcantara wheel will only get chewed up like the first one. Buy a leather one on ebay, they're a dime a dozen, and be done with it for good.
BTW the SW with the black spokes is standard on 2011 and later cars. 2009-10 cars had the gray one.
Edit: here's one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/porsche-991-...ZYQgqz&vxp=mtr

Hey guys, thanks for all of the tips.
I did actually reach out to MACarbon, Dallas, and DCTMS about re-wrapping mine.
Looks like the best I'll do is about $475-550 for the re-wrap depending on whether I keep the yellow 12 o'clock.
I think my cost on the CLA wheel would probably be something like $700-800 but I won't know until I can get a definitive part number for it. If I did that, I would just sell my used MACarbon wheel to someone that wanted to re-wrap it...maybe that would cover the cost altogether considering the extreme cost of the MACarbon wheel as new.
