Prototipo vs Clubsport - Which steering wheel?
My '89 C4 came with the factory 4 spoke OEM steering wheel, which I quickly replaced for a Prototipo. Though I love the look/feel of the prototipo, I get bored easily. Curious everyone's thoughts on the Porsche Clubsport / 930S techquipment steering wheel? Anyone who has tried both? Additionally - any modification required to make it fit on a non-airbag 89 C4?

Have you considered the Porsche cup wheel from the 993? I have it mounted on my 964 and love it. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...ff3c268ee.jpeg |

I have both, and I think the clubsport is better suited to the 964 style.
Have you actually found a (affordable) source for the clubsport with the embossing on the rim? |

Is there a difference between the Cup wheel and a Mod 07 other than the Porsche script? |

I believe they're the same. If not, extremely similar.

I prefer the Clubsport wheel over the Cup/Mod 07 mainly because I prefer the thicker rim. To me the Cup is too thin but has the advantage of being closer to the driver due to the dish.

Found a clubsport wheel yes, but not with the Porsche script on the rim. I have a feeling those are unicorns.

The Clubsport wheel with the Porsche script is part# 968-347-084-10-8YR. You better sit down before taking a look at the price, list is $907 and Sonnen sells it for $720.

I also prefer the mod 07 to the prototipo. The prototipo is too large and sits too close to my knees while driving.
The M07 is the same as the cup wheel without the writing and a couple hundred cheaper. |
Just be aware the the cup/mod07 will put the stalks out of fingers reach. I NEED the dish but I’ve held off cause I drive a lot on mountain pass roads at night and want to use the high/low while gripping the wheel in a corner. If you don’t need the dish then I’d agree on the preference for the fatter wheel. In terms of looks alone I prefer the mod07. |
