Default WTB early 3-spoke steering wheel

As title states, looking for the early 3-spoke steering wheel. Needs to be in great shape. Don't care about horn pad condition.

Would prefer local to socal so it doesn't really need to be shipped.

Also, it's an oem steering wheel..it's only worth like $15...so be reasonable in your expectations.

get a black one and dye it brown with SEM.

my grey airbag from L.A. Porsche Dismantlers + SEM = my black airbag from L.A. Porsche Dismantlers.

steering wheel w/ a few scratches - $125, grey airbag $500, SEM dye, $11 (black airbags are $600, but they were temporarily sold out of black).

the carbon Carrera GT wheels are fetching $1,900 (add $950 for airbags) at the dealers now

#1 i dont have or need an airbag
#2 a 944 steering wheel is a $15 dollar part, not $500
#3 only one part that i can recall is even brown so i dont really care if its black or brown as i have the brown part already

i was talking about the 944 wheel + $11 paint expense, as doing something similar saved me the $89.

I have one in black. Not sure exactly where it is, but it is in great condition. At least it was in great condition, but for $15 is not worth it for me to even look for it.

what would make it worthwhile to look for?

main reason i said that is because some parts guys expect like $80+ for this thing. its just not worth half that much, they just think they can get a sucker to pay it.

When do you need it? Earliest I could ship would be next monday if the part is where I think it is.

Otherwise it something like an hour of my time to go to where I keep some spares dig through and find it.
