Is the material covering the rim genuine leather? I am talking about the large diameter three-spoke rim that came standard on the 924, 924S and pre-85.5 944. Thanks

Mine is real leather. Does anyone know if all '83 s had the 3-spoke, or did some come with the 4-spoke "rectangular horn pad" version?

It varies, some came with the 3 spoke and come came with 4 spoke wheels. I have a 4 spoke (leather) and I know that I have option code: 431 - Leather steering wheel so I am guessing specifically that is for a 4 spoke.

My '84 came with the 3 spoke, no leather originally, but it has it now - there's a nice sew on cover avaliable for them. I think it cost me like $40 from performance.

My 924s steering wheel feels awfully "plastic-y" to me.

Yes, mine is.

My 84 944 has 3 spoke real leather.

my 87 924S parts car had vinyl 3 spoke.

My 84 944 spec car had an aftermarket one.

I am not sure on my 83 as the one in the was pretty old. Now it has the nice one from my 87 924S

I think one on my 88 924S is leather, but it beat to hell too.

951 4 spoke is leather, My father previous 86 951 (4 spoke pre airbag) was leather. My parents 928 4 spoke is leather.

I have seen both leather and vinyl 3 spokes, I saw a 3 spoke for sale at Hershey with NO covering at all! Mine is Leather.

I had one on my car when I bought it and it seems kind of plasticy to me. If anyone wants it, it is for sale.

my 83' and 85' came with 4-spoke leather...must be an option or something...

kennycoulter

my 3 spoke has the leather.......so the 3 spoke IS bigger than the 4 spoke?

athens944

My super-faded Guards Red '83 has the 3-spoke and my newly acquired Black '83 has the 4-spoke, but I was not sure if someone had changed it

M758

Not that I am aware of.

my 4 spoke was an option on my '83 as well...the rim is leather, while the center horn pad is plastic, which on '84's and on was changed to leather

The sport steering wheel option in the early cars is the 4-spoke leather wrap, just like the 86 951 stock wheel. THe only difference that I've noticed is that the horn pad in the early cars was plastic, and in the turbo's were leather.
