Only if they sit in direct sunlight for extended periods. My 951 still has the factory plastic window and it's perfectly transparent. Of course it sleeps in a garage under cover when not in use.

Anyone have photos of the OEM wheels for these cars? Same as a US spec turbo S. Saw some pics recently and the wheels looked like 928's flat center etc.?

The 1990+ 951s including the Cabs have the cast design 90 16" wheels similar to what was used on the 944S2 and 911 C2. I have the forged Club Sport forged 16" wheels from the '88-89 944 Turbo S on my car, using 9 inch wheels and 245/40 tires front and rear. Picture below is of a Euro 944 cab.

Default wheels

Yes those are the wheels my cabrio came stock with. See my two photos attached one is the stock wheel on a US turbo S and the other I think is called a "flatdish".

I was wondering which came standard on the euro turbo cabrio.

I believe the flat dish forged wheels were an option on the S2 cars, probably the 1990+ turbos also.

All factory 944 Turbo Cabriolets were fitted with the M030 Design 90 cast wheels, in 7.5" fronts and 9" rears.

Here's a pic of my car with the stock wheels.

For some reason, Porsche didn't deem the 951 worthy of the 965 Cup 1 style wheels it fitted on the 911 Turbo, 928 GTS and M030 option 968 cars, but I think these wheels suit the car best.
