Since we are talking wheels let me add the North American 968 factory wheel production data:
code 402 was the C2 5 spoke 16" wheels - they are standard equipment on the 968
code 403 was the C2 Turbo 17" light alloy wheels - Optional on 92-94.5 968s, cost $1,378
code 398 was the 993 17" cup wheel - Optional on 94.5 - 95 968s, cost $1,352
Other interesting wheel options:
code XD4 was the rim cap with Porsche crest, cost $208 in 92-94.5 and $214 on 94.5-95
code XD9 was the painted wheels, cost $1,079, usually found on white cars but can be found in other colors as well. Only inner section of wheel was painted body color, outer edge was still the gray.
Other notes,
code 231 is always paired with either of the 17" wheel options. It is a tire code indicating a change in tire manufacturer on the production line (so I'm told by my friends in Germany). It does not show up on the window sticker or cost anything.
There was no 17"x8" wheel option from the factory. Of course the dealer could do anything.
The M030 suspension was available as part of a package option code which include 17" wheels but NOT LSD.
Wheel option data for cabs only at this point:
2,008 cabs produced for North American market
228 with option code 403
274 with option code 398
1,506 with code 402 (16"s)
923 with code XD4
4 with code XD9

" sorry - there was definitely a winter wheel option package with a 17 x 8 - see page 116 of the owner's manual
they came with a 225/45 R17 90 M+S"
Those are dealer packages, they still offer those today. You could not order a 968 with them and they were not listed in the sales books. Similar to the wind deflector on a cab. Factory part, available at the dealer, not through the factory.
