Default 928 Steering Wheel Options

Don't much care for my steering wheel, a bit boring!

Would like to update with a nicer looking wheel. Possibly something with the porsche emblem in color, or at least stamped on the wheel.

I will keep the original steering wheel but would like something different... What do I need to know... what other model porsches will the steering wheels fit from onto my car??

TIA

All you need to know is Paul Champagne... He can make your stock wheel look AWESOME! Then you keep the real deal but with some flair! Just go to his web site...

Just a personal opinion, but I think the 928 Sport wheel looks the best, also called the 930 wheel.

There was another option...it was referred to as the 930s wheel. I picked up one years ago for my 951...I love that wheel! I found a pic.



Thought I would add another which I think fits the 928 perfectly IMHO...I tried to find one of these for the better part of a year with no luck...at least not at a reasonable cost. Personally, I decided to remain true to the Porsche Gods and had my wheel recovered by Rob Budd. If you're not into Gray/Green, you're nowhere

Default wheel

The steering wheel I assume comes from a 930...

Is it a stock fit?? Any mods necessary? spacers/adapters

I purchased mine from AJUSA, about 5 years ago, but they don't seem to stock it now (as I checked). The wheel was/is very popular with a number of Porsche models...I would think it is still available.

Roger can get you the proper wheel. The 928 sport wheel comes with the extended adapter that is needed.

No offence but the stock steering wheel is ugly. The early, 3 spokes were ok but the later, 4 spokes wheels are ugly as sin. No amount of work can make them look awesome. The design is ugly and not much can be done about it.

Default Stock wheel

I think the stock wheel looks nice on an original car... But mine will not be...

My car is a resto-fication (restoration/modification)... so in other words... I want it to be my style and yet still look and feel like a porsche!

What's the spline size on an early car?

I'm more than impressed with my recovered 4 spoke wheel...Thank you very much R. Budd.

The wheel is original, but new, which has it's own appeal. I wanted, was lusting after, another wheel. The recovered original wheel has its own character...I like it.

I've got one of Pauls recovered 4 spokes and I love it. It's softer and seems to have more 'sponge' to it for gripping. Lemme see if I can get a pic uploaded.
