Steering wheel replacement
Does anyone know if a 964 steering wheel will fit on a 968?
I have a classic gray interior and have been able to find a classic gray club sport wheel. I believe Porsche lists it for a 89-94 Carrera. I was told that it would fit. This is a different part number than the 968 club sport wheel which only comes in black.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks Stephen,
The black looks good with the classic gray. Maybe I should do the same. Shipping from Germany between time freight restocking fees, etc if it doesn't work may not be worth the effort.
Did you have any spacing issues between the wheel and the dash? I was wondering if the wheel can be moved any closer to the driver with a spacer.

The 968 Tequipement (club sport) steering wheel was actually available in many colors. Black, Blue, Burgundy, Grey. All colors are long out of production and nearly impossible to find new. I tried hard to find a blue one for my car and ended up buying a black wheel. They all have different part #'s, as they are different colors.

This is a wrong statement mate as is "Tequipement". The company that made the CS wheel is still making steering wheels for Porsche. Porsche do not make there own steering wheels - Another company in Germany does as well as making all Steering wheels for Aston Martin to mention only one , they out source
If this information is wrong, then find me a brand new midnight Blue CS steering wheel (which is listed in the tequipement catalogue).

they dont have blue listed. The shop i contacted also listed several colors for sale; when i called to purchase the blue wheel, i was told they can only get me a black wheel. The rest of the colors of out of production and they no longer have any in stock.
Any place that has a dif. color (other then black), happens to have the wheel in stock as a left over unit. I will try contacting the manufacturer directly to see if they will make me a blue wheel. But if they arnt making them for venders, i dont think they will make one for me either.

If you can wait 6 weeks then we can supply you with a blue one as we have ordered one for our 993 project car
I will send you a picture at the time we recieve but we have to purchase in bulk.
Please remember this wheel WAS NOT made exclusivly for Porsche - infact Porsche were the last car manufacture of many to use the wheel - however the stitch work was exclusive to them!
Note most vendors sell the Lancia stich version which I can elaborate on in detail if you require

what i was told by both Sunset & Pepe is; Blue wheels are not being produced and are not available for delivery. There are none at the factory. Production was stoped and there is no way to know if they will produce any colors outside of Black again. I had 2 choices, order a black wheel or pay for a blue one and cross my fingers. I may wait a week, a month, a year, or forever.
a 3rd party vender here in the states that sells the wheels also told me they arnt being produced and he cant get me a blue wheel anymore. He used to stock grey, blue, burgundy and black wheels but now only has black wheels. The other colors are no longer available for order.
I have the part #'s for 4 colors at home. Blue, Burgundy, Grey, & Black....as they are all listed in the 968 Tequipement catalogue. I've seen these wheels in other colors as well. 964 Turbo S's had them with the word Turbo embossed on the center (in place of the crest).
in any event, i ended up ordering a black wheel from Sunset....as that was all i could get my hands on.

Yes this is the case regarding Porsche direct but I have advised you to go to the manufacture WHO do still make them as previously stated they WERE NOT made exclusive for Porsche. We buy ours direct and have done for some time.
Regarding the center embossed logos, I've not seen Turbo but have seen various RS embossed for Porsche cars. The other colour ones like Ruby Stone red were all made to special order for Porsche for RS cars only.
