I opted to delete the multifunction buttons which requires the following trim pieces:
9P1-419-936-F-5Q0
9P1-419-937-F-5Q0
95B-419-938-H-5Q0
9P1-419-936-E-5Q0
9P1-419-937-E-5Q0

I believe you can source any used airbag from a 718/991.2/Macan.

Here's the final result on my car:
This looks fantastic!
How much did it cost you??

~1000 for the wheel
~200 for the trim pieces

The airbag will be the most variable in price. I got mine for $450 from another rennlist member but that's on the lower end of the price range.

I just looked through my photos and I never took photos of the part number. But the part you sent looks correct.

Has anyone measured the diameter of the Porschemaster wheel? Dimensions aren't listed.

Default Porschemaster Wheel Review

Wondering if anyone here has replaced their wheel with a porschemaster wheel? I did a quick search but haven't found any reviews on their steering wheels.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I posted this in the General Porsche Forum too, in case any other members may have feedback/reviews). Thanks!
Hi mate. I fitted one a while back on my 981 Boxster, and have made a couple of videos about it on YouTube. Very happy with it.

No worries. This is the main one:


This is a roundup of my first 18 months with the Boxster, which mentions everything I've done, including the wheel:


Cheers.

I remember holding it up to my old sport wheel and it was very close to the same size.
The Porschemaster wheel is 14-3/4" wide and 14-1/2" tall.

Thank you!!

14.75" = 375mm wide, and yes I think that's the same size as quoted for the 981/991 Sport Design wheel

I assume you are asking for the depth.
My old sport wheel was 5-1/4” deep. The Porschemaster wheel is 4-3/4” deep. The airbag on the original one was about 1/4” further out than the grip. The new one is about 1/4” set in from the grip.
The grip itself is the same thickness on both.

Old sport wheel.

New Porschemaster wheel.

No, I was asking about the thickness of the rim.
