Default Best Steering Wheel? Now With End Result!

Which steering wheel do you guys think is best? Mine is getting a bit tatty now and could use the old 3 spoke treatment. Pictures please! And prices would be good. And if anyone has an old one hanging around - let me know!

Believe it or not some oils will contribute to higher consumption rates in different uses and applications...try an HDEO like Chevron Delo 15w40 next time...see how that works for you.

My steering wheels have never shown any diference in 'consumption' rate when it comes to which oil I use in the engine.....What have you been smoking eh?

The 993 wheel doesn't fit a 964 does it? That GT wheel looks pretty smart. Christer - got any pics?

Marc; that's a sharp wheel. They're a bit pricey though, aren't they?

That's a sharp wheel Christer, I like the look better than AJ's but it's a tough choice to stay with an airbag or not...

My car came with a three spoke w/ crest installed and the stock wheel in the event i wantted to go back to the airbag. I have always intended to go back to the airbag wheel but will surely miss the superior look of the current wheel... i just hope my oil consumptions doesn't change as a result.

what wheel does CD Christian have, I think that's the best looking wheel I've seen on a 964.
