Question Replacement steering wheel - opinions

Hi all. Getting ready to purchase a new steering wheel. Opinions? (I'm sure there are many)

My car currently has an old Momo closest to today's Club 4 style. It is pretty ratted out. Anyway, although I am usually one for the original look/style, I am not a huge fan of the original 928 steering wheels, but could be persuaded if a nice enough example pops up.

Anyhow, those that have aftermarket wheels, mind posting a pic?

Thanks. Nice (both). Actually the original looks great. Did you have a local shop redo the wheel?

Scott,
I got the leather kit thru 928 Specialists and when I saw it had HUNDREDS of little holes (and Jeannie said this was easy) I took it to a local tailor shop believe it or not... the lady did it on her off time and took a couple days... people who make the kit charge $169 to do this, she charged me half that
and I can't WAIT to get it on and get that momo out of the car

I have always liked the factory 3-spoke. I'm looking to put the Momo Runner wheel eventually in my 944 and redo my 4-spoke.

The Club 4 seems to match the 928 interior a little more IMO, but both momo examples look great

Thanks. That Club 4 looks really nice. Where did you pick up the center crest?

BTW that's one of the nicest looking stock 44's I've seen recently.

Marc, How did you get the dash lights so bright? If you don't mind telling.
Thanks Justin

My Club 4 with a minor change from factory - I painted the horn surround black.

I installed the 930 S wheel from AJ-USA (RennList Sponsor - you get a discount). I think it's a nice update.
