spyder, are the wheels available with a porsche crest and leather like the the earlier pics? i know that anything is possible, but i'm not looking to spend a fortune on just a steering wheel.

Brad, you can get the wheel exactely personalized what you wish for. In Germany it is not allowed to put the porsche crest on our wheels, but our own crest has same measurements like the oem... but ours is just stuck and it can easily exchanged.;)

There´s a lot of options that we offer and so we can realized every personal wishes from customers. to become an "economic" value, it is possible to cover only the airbag module with leather... but keep in mind... we use the porsche nappa leather, the wheels from the latest images are only covered with standard automotive leather... you will see the different between quality.

They're not meant to only "look" nice actually, thats not the main idea behind changing a steering wheel! They are twice heavier and thicker, and they are smaller in diameter (bye bye school bus porsche wheel!). I bet you've never driven one of those for saying this ;) It's day and night buddy

Ask yourself how many minutes/hours you drive or race your car... now those should match the exact same time your hands are on your steering wheel. Lastly, picture yourself holding to a real "high quality & sporty" steering wheel all of that time ;)

Priceless imo

@feelyx

you send us your own steering wheel to customize or you want a complete custom wheel with your options from us?

I would like a complete new steering wheel, I went to your website but I couldn't figure out how to order one. LOL!! :o
The wheel pictured, and feelyx in silver thread. Oh.. and its a '98 boxster, manual trans.

No problem, you have pm!

We can realize all wishes about colurs, leather, stitching, but embroidering on airbag-module is the only, what is not possible and not allowed, because german TÜV sets safety rules for that.

sgt brad 02-17-2012 06:02 AM

now that i could work with. i have never had a wheel recovered. what did you have to do to get the much thicker rim? i'd spring for that on my 3 spoke wheel. i especially like the alcantara/suede. very nice.

hotbarbeque 02-17-2012 06:38 AM

Brad - In the UK but I'm sure there are people in USA that will do this for you. IT was a part exchange deal for my old wheel so in total for the thicker rim and thumb grips, alcantara in black with red stitching cost me £150...

I will email and ask how he got the thicker rim and thumb grips done.

I love the wheel it feels great and goes well with colours on my car. Feels a lot easier to grip also when driving.
I'm guessing you might like this:
