Question Who sells the Club Sport steering wheels?

Can anyone point me to a vendor?

And what do they go for, roughly?

Thanks!

Club Sport steering wheels are Porsche factory parts so you can order one from you friendly Porsche dealer.

Just out of curiosity, I did a price check on it a few months back with Sunset Porsche. It was somewhere in the 300s.

NEVER order a Porsche part from a dealer...unless he is wearing a mask and holding a gun.

ALWAYS start with Jeff at Sunset Imports, they almost always have the best prices and best means of location.

Even the OEM units on ebay are in the same price range. I don't know of a place to get it cheaper than Sunset.

PM Beni we can get the OEM units cheap but they do not have the porsche embossed center - centers are plan but they are 100% OEM

You can get the leather cover center pad direct from Porsche if need be - We can only get them in Black at the moment though.

AJ/USA used to carry them - that's where I got mine. Last time I looked, though, I couldn't find it. Anyone know what's up with them?

For the record the AJ/USA wheels were replicas and differed in the stitching. I own one: very happy with it, but it is different.

I don't know what they're up to these days.

Sunset Porsche has the best prices. 968 CS/968 Tequipement steering wheels used to be avail in several diff colors (Blue, Burgundy, Grey). Those colors have all been long out of production, and there is no def. answer as to wether or not Porsche will produce them again. The Black wheels with the color coded crest are OEM 930 Wheels and are identical to the 968 Tequipement wheel with the exception of the color coded crest. Auto Atlanta may have a burgundy or grey wheel still in stock (but they will cost you more money).

You will need to get a resistor for the airbag light. You will also need to purchase an additional connector for your horn to work.

+1 for Sunset.

Except for small items that I don't mind my local shops making a small markup on, the BIG TICKET items I buy come from Sunset.

I love my club sport wheel in my 968. I'd put it in my race car if I didn't feel so bad about it getting abused.

Whoever ordered that interior must be the type that leaves CAPS LOCK on. But it looks sweet! Shouldn't the seatbelts go through the seats?
