questions about factory options on 2002 911 Turbo

I am looking to buy a 2002 911 turbo, and I've found it has two things I've not seen on other 2002 turbos. I am wondering if they are factory options?

it has chrome wheels 5 spoke wheels. looks like a chome version of the standard turbo wheel. are these factory porsche, or aftermarket?

it has the ehaust tips with the 2 circles in each tip. I've seen this tip on newer turbos. All the other 2002's I've seen have the single oval/triangular type tips. was this an option, or is this a newer ehaust put on it.

anything else I should be aware of on a 2002 - anything to look out for?

Chome wheels are not factory options, but the X54 tips are.

Any chance the car's window sticker is available? It will list all options. Also the option sticker underside of front lid will list option codes. A start to let you know what's supposed to be on the car.

Wheels are just chrome dipped, not sure if that is factory but they are certainly heavier than the non chromey's. Those tips are x50 tips, you may want to see if it has an x50 package (which is a good thing) the tips do not guarantee that it does though. Ask him to send you a picture of the option sticker under the front hood, it will tell you all the factory options it came with.

The car that you pictured looks to be lowered somewhat...at least from the picture.

The tips in the picture are OEM.

I agree...nice looking car but I think that both the wheels and the exhaust tips are add-ons. All of the X50's I've seen have the standard oval tips.
