Default Who's running what aftermarket steering wheel?

i'd like a smaller diameter (350mm) and thicker wheel in my 951, but i'm having a hard time finding anything that seems to 'match' the interior well. i ran a momo prototipo in my carrera and it looked perfect in that interior. it just doesn't seem appropriate for the 951. love to see pics of aftermarket wheels you guys have.

If you like the stock look there are two factory 951 options smaller than the standard 380mm. Theres a 363mm (option code M431) and a 363mm with an elevated hub (option code M018). I have a M431 fitted to my car and had it recovered with added thickness by 928 leathershop. Previously I had a Momo 350mm and found the steering too heavy as I have 225/17 wheels up front and manual steering.

I have Atiwe 360mm steering wheel - it is very similar to the Porsche Club Sport steering wheel.





I also have one 320 mm steering wheel (some kind of German manufacturer - I do not recall the name).

fantastic suggestion. like the idea, but i can't seem to locate one at all. i have a feeling this is a 'keep an eye out, buy when you see it' purchase. thanks!

i saw the Atiwe wheel you have and they're a nice option. agree that they do look like the CS/RS wheels.

i was a bit impatient and needed a wheel sooner than later, so i opted for this Monte Carlo - clean lines, all black. should look good and i like the momo 350 size and grip diameter.

I'm using a Momo 996 cup wheel, personally I feel it suits it:

Came with the car when I bought it. Says CORSA across the bottom. I love the feel of it, but it's a bit small - blocks my view of the two outside gauges - water temp and voltmeter.

I have a club sport with the emblem in my turbo and a momo Monte Carlo in my S. The club sport wheel is much more comfortable and was a direct fit for my airbag equipped car.
