The prices on period steering wheels and radios always kind of shocks me; one will be $75 and another will be $750, varying only in details. Curious on price point as well, but I guess that depends on volume of interest.
Good input. Once we get a price point, we will definitely share with you all.

For the horn button, as this seems to be a very similar consensus across the board, what would you like it to be replaced with?

For me Alcantara looks all wrong in a classic 911 so would prefer a nicer leather (than standard prototipo) like the original item.

I totally agree. An ideal custom wheel for me would be all-black prototipo with little bit more dish and nice looking black leather horn button with pressed Porsche crest logo on it.

If they follow through they need to make it with leather.



This is an old Momo. All leather.

I think most of the feedback suggests a thicker wheel is the main desire, while the horn button is secondary. Besides, lots of options on customizing the horn button to taste later. Leather option would also be nice.

I'll echo what others have stated here, my perfect Prototipo would be:

370-380
Thicker rim
More dish
Leather embossed horn button
Price? I would pay a decent premium for this..

I like exactly what you have mocked up. I'd get the grey stitching if it came between that and white. Black would be even better. For the horn button, I'd love to see the word PORSCHE in block letters/Porsche font.

hell just remake the 930 wheel and be done with it

but yeah id go with the grey stitching as white will discolour and look off very quickly.

leave alcantara to the water cooled boys .. we are the leather men !! !

370-380mm, leather, a bit thicker but not so thick as Magnus's wheel, stitching in 3 or 4 colors tops, horn button with a newly designed logo, and last but not least...FLAT like the classic Prototipos of the 60s and early 70s.
