Someone I know here got a 997TT with the Sycamore wood interior!


His excuse was that his WIFE did it!

Jason, thanks for the info! I need to feel what the thicker sport wheel is like. I had the standard sport wheel on my last 997S. At first it felt VERY thin, but I got used to it. Having had my RS4 for a year now, I am used to a thicker wheel rim again...
