All really look excellent. Time to search ebay. Last time I looked for an OEM newer porsche steering wheel, the prices were way out of control. Of course, the airbag is what contributes much of that increase.

Keep in mind that most newer Porsche wheels will not fit in a 928. The splines are different.

Raid has wheels that will fit, but they are expensive and not available in every color.
I did a custom cover for this 993 model in Classic Gray:



Momo wheels are excellent quality, but their original leather cover is the weak point. On the plus side, they can be made to look quite good:

We will have to update your airbag to my new style one of these days.

Don't be hurt, I was counting on you

Same.... It's a Momo that matches the steering wheel. I have an automatic, so the top of the shifter is actually a wide, polished button.

can't identify maker, hyroglyphics a bit strange, came off an Japan import Z32 I used to own,good grip with fat leather rim, 4 spokes without the "square" look.
82 model, don't have to contend with airbag.

The OP had it right the first time

The aftermarket wheels dont hold a candle to the new Porsche wheels.

The new one with the paddles like what would come on the Porsche Boxster Sypder with PDK is really a great looking wheel.

The Momo's just look like something out of a catalog in comparison

Now wether or not you can get the newer wheels to work with the original airbag wiring, thats another story.
