Hey David,

there are many on my website. The car is still only half way done and if I can find some time to work on my own stuff, I will most probably rip everything out and start over

Yep, and I don't plan on changing it. I've been on Rennlist too long.

Here's a question for Paul - I want to use this wheel but on a non-airbag car. Can you do the wheel center in just a smooth single piece? I'm not sure what could be done as "filler" behind it, other than stuffing a bunch of rags in there.

Hey Mark,

a couple of points to consider: first you need to make sure that the splines and shaft are compatible with the car. Second, if you have the airbag cover itself, with or without the bag. I can make it work.

For instance, if it's a bag that as been deployed, the cover itself is trash, because it tears on 3 sides. But if you have it, I can put it back together and cover it.

Not sure if that answers your question

Thanks Paul. This would be on a 928 and I'm pretty sure I can source an adapter if it doesn't fit directly. Unless I can find the 320mm wheel used, it would be a new wheel without the airbag, so I'd have to order the cover with it I assume. I had a 350mm on my old 928 and it was just too big, and a 320 on my 911 and it was perfect. This wheel looks great and would set off the interior beautifully.

Mark,

it's a beautiful wheel, no question. I have little experience with the company itself or it's dealers, as the wheels have been sent to me by the owners. I don't know if the covers are available separately or only as part of the bag assembly.

Definitely a beautiful wheel. I heard you were the man Paul and this proves it. Nice work. Jason
