Help...
I have a porsche boxster 968 2.7 tiptronic.
I want a smaller steering wheel, a replacement for the OEM part, with airbag and tiptronic controls.
Anyone have an aftermarket replacement direct fit, or any ideas.
I have long legs and with the seatall the way back,and lowered back I still cannot pedal without catching my knees and thighs.I am in the UK, so any help much appreciated.

This is a black leather Atiwe 340mm 3-Spoke Steering Wheel and airbag with silver deviating stitching. I had it installed in my 993. It is noticeably smaller than the OEM steering wheel. It does, however, block you view of the gauges because of its size.

You could always go the after market route with a hub adapter. They don't look half bad, just not something I would personally do on my car!

That is a really nice looking wheel Chuck. Probably a stupid question but did the smaller diameter take some getting used to? I kind of chuckled when I read the original intent of the thread since the OP'er was looking to go in a different direction from the 986/996 three spoke wheel. I just installed one (took awhile to find one with the silver crest) on my 993 to replace the 4 spoke stock steering wheel, BIG improvement.

No, it was a very nice feel.

I passed up a leather three spoke air bag with a silver crest. My bad. IMHO, they look much better.
