Default Steering Wheel upgrade - Is this Agate?

I have a 991.1 and would really like to upgrade from my standard multifunction steering wheel to the newer style (both without heating function). The roadblock here is that I've got an Agate interior and finding an agate colored replacement wheel/airbag is more difficult than the standard black. I found a wheel on ebay that looks like it *could* be agate, but the seller is unsure and describes it as gray/brown.

Anyone feel like weighing in on what they think this wheel is color-wise?

And, yes, I know that even if this wheel's color is agate, that I'll still be in need of an airbag and gps adapter to make sure that all my buttons still work.

Yes, it looks like the same color as mine from what I can tell from a computer screen. Sorry, I don't have any photos of mine to send.

I was told by the service dept at my Porsche dealer that the 991.2 wheel doesn’t work on the 991.1. Does anyone know if this is accurate?

Hard to tell - here is mine with Techart paddles added to the MF 991.1 Steering wheel with Agate.

Here's a MF heated 991.2 GT wheel in my 2015 991.1 C2. It works fine with the GPS adapter.

the 991.1 wheel CAN be replaced with a 991.2 wheel although (1) its a bit of work (there are threads) and $$$ and (2) potentially it moves the car away from a "Standard" spec.

I recently upgraded my MF wheel 991.1 to the Sports Wheel and love it.

And have listed my old one on ebay

I was not aware they made the Luxor Beige wheels for the 991.2 Might have to look into that.
