In the brochure it states that the sunvisors are textured leather. Is this true on all C2S models?

I have OEM 17 cups on my 993, and Im going to upgrade to a more elegant wheel, wheelenacement.com has great options, but Im staying in the 17'' diameter, I may be in the minority, but I believe 17s feel much nicer to drive on, and protect the wheel much better as well.

I had the option of 18" Carrera or 18" Turbo Twist wheels when I bought my 993. I chose the 17" Cup wheels.

Much nicer wheels if you ask me. Great looking car!

If the 17's any of you plan on selling are early off set - I would be interested for my 1986 951.

I would leave the twists on it... It's GORGEOUS! I think that is the best color I have ever seen on one of our cars!

Does anyone know the color code that Porsche used for the grille, door handles and mirrors with their Vesuvius cars? And..has anyone who doesnt have a Vesuvius car painted their grille, door handles and mirrors the Vesuvius silver color to contrast a darker overall paint job?

Don't know the color code, but it is called stahl grau (steel grey) I have some hollow spokes I am going to do for my arctic silver car to get a little more contrast.

My C2S came from the factory with 17" cups, but I decided to put the twists on last year.

Here is the before and after.

I'm usually a fan of the turbo twists but those matching-color cup IIs that fivelitre posted are very nice looking. I bet the turbo-twists would look hot done in a similar theme.

Was this the low mileage one owner Vesuvius that sold on Ebay for ~$48K late last year?

Found the listing
