Default SOLD: 3-spoke 996 suede wheel and aluminum/leather Tequipment shifter

After a long debate I've decided that I would not use these two parts in my 993. Both are plug and play for any 993, as well as 964, etc. Prices are net of PayPal fees, shipping from Boston.

1. Suede 996 3-spoke wheels with airbag. The wheel was slightly thickened and recovered in very soft suede. Airbag was recovered at the same time. The wheel was not installed, nor used since being recovered, so it's in perfect shape. SOLD.
















2. Tequipment leather and aluminum shifter. It's weighted ****. This is a used part, so please see pics for condition. I've tried to show all the minor scratches on the right side of it. Have not tried to polish them out, but they probably would. I'd rather the potential buyer see all the details and decides what it's worth. SOLD.

Mike,

What color is the stitching? Looks like blue but it could be the lighting

Edit::fixed typo

Stitching is black on the wheel and the bag, I think it's just the lighting or lack thereof. BTW, the material is Alcantara.

That's a gorgeous wheel and airbag; so much so, I'd be afraid to touch it!

The reason i chose not to put it on my car is exactly that - too nice for me (and my GF's fairly oily hands, she manages to live paw prints on leather, let alone alcantara). Re-covering was done by Carsdream, like my other wheels.

Pervy, thanks for the clarification on the shifter. What's the difference between the two?

Gunmetal trim = C2S

Aluminum trim = tequipment

Not sure if the C2S shifters are weighted either. The tequipment ones definitely are.

Out of my own curiosity, what's the approximate weight of either? Mine is 10 Oz.

Cleaned the leather on the shifter up a bit and conditioned it - looks better than the pictures indicated.

I just weighed both a stock and a C2S shifter boot and they were within a gram of each other at 136g ~ 4.75oz

Thanks, JB! So, this one is definitely weighted and is, thus, a Tequipment shifter.
