Steering Wheel
My stock Porsche steering wheel needs recovering. Thinking about purchasing a Momo Prototipo instead since it seems to be around the same price as recovering.
Also, I have the spacer behind my wheel. Can I use a nonspacer wheel or is my shaft too long for this?
What kind of wheels are you guys using and/or like?

i like the prototipo and the monte carlo on our cars.
i don't know what you mean by spacer.
but to put a momo on a car you need to get the hub adapter. it puts it right around the stock distance. maybe a fraction of an inch difference, if i remember right.

If OntarioTurbo passes on that steering wheel ('87), I'd certainly like to have it!
Thanks!

i don't like the idea of going cheap on anything that i have to look at and touch... (not sure that came out right).
a few hundred dollars for a wheel you'll be loving for the next 45 years is nothing.
i have a 996 airbag wheel. the mods i had to do to get this wheel in weren't easy. all worth it.

That 968 wheel looks very similar in shape to my momo, which also feels great in the hand. Might have to put the 968 wheel into the *to do* list, but will definately try and test one first. looks great though

Seafeye: is the '87 non airbag wheel the same four spoke wheel that came on the '86's and although it needs cleaning is the leather in good condition with no excess wear areas or rips?
Ernie9468: Where is Suset Porsche located? Any chance of getting a 968 CS wheel for a decent price on ebay?

I took it off right when i bought the car and put on a Momo. From what i remember it just needed a good cleaning. The whole car was dirty. Tomorrow i will go out there (Garage) and take a couple of pictures of it. Have a extra boxster wheel as well if that would fit???

the boxster wheel must be reduced. you'll need to bore about 1/8~3/16" out of the front of the wheel and cut about 1/4~5/16" off the rear to reduce the wheel by 7/16" such that it will fit over the shorter 944 or 968 shaft..... then you'll need a 993 or 996 clock spring and make some additional mods.
