Steering wheel on Ebay

[berni29]

Hi

I have been looking out for an original black 3 spoke wheel with airbag (for a reasonable price) for a while unsuccessfully.

Then I saw this on ebay so I bought it. The seller has more I think though not necessarily this exact one.

I thought it would look nice with a Porsche emblem on it. My interior is classic grey and has the black and grey dash combo so the aluminium might go well. Also I prefer the Tip button arrangement.

Where are you going to source the emblem Berni??
I bought two embossed plastic ones from Jasmine that I have stuck on the back of my Recaros.

Hi Ldt

Thats a good question. I was guessing that they were easily available. I will have to have a look now!

All the best

Then you're airbag goes off and you have a Porsche crest shaped missile...

Hi Stu

Good thinking. Transfer then. Or perhaps I can get someone to emboss it with the right font?

It's never quite as simple as one first thinks is it?

Nice wheel Berni! I like that. :thumb:

I have a a mini Porsche metal emblem on my steering wheel, you know I never thought of that, :chin: I also don't know if the emblem is standard as I've no idea who makes the wheel. :what:

That wheel is similar to the ones Ruf fitted to their 993's 8)

Hi Dom

Good spot. They are made by the same people Atiwe. I have found some really good looking stickers on ebay. When the wheel comes I will have a measure up and see what size to go for.

Porsche did supply a 3-spoke wheel for the 993:-

it would be nice if these are available somewhere...

Hi Tim

Excellent! Many thanks for that. Now I know what size sticker to go for and where to put it. At least the wheel is not soooooo incorrect for the car. I will have to get an aluminium button made up for the Tiptronic lever to match the wheel.

Thanks again

No problem Berni, you are welcome! I think this wheel suits the car better than the more modern looking 996 3-spokers, though they too do look quite good as well.

 

[dommorton]

Berni are you certain the tip buttons will work? is it made specifically with the 993 tip in mind, and therefore plug and play?

Berni- great find mate. I recognise this wheel- cant remember which porsche supplier, and at work now- could be carnewal, Design 911 or another, but around £500! I may buy one even though I dont need the buttons, its that cheap. (maybe wire the buttons for radio controls!).
