Default Steering Wheel Options...

Considering upgrading...

OPTION A: Leather GTS Sport
http://www.suncoastparts.com/mm5/gra...cturescopy.jpg
$999.00

OPTION B: Alcantara Sport
http://www.suncoastparts.com/mm5/gra...%20porsche.jpg
$1095.00

OPTION C: Alcantara GT3 RS 4.0
http://www.suncoastparts.com/mm5/gra...0wheel%203.jpg
$2650.00

'C' appears to be THICKER (nice) both in size and price. Anyone know the differences in size on these?

Option D: send your existing wheel off to to Dallas custom wheel, for a re skin in your choice of design, thickness, and materials! About $6-800 I seem to recall?

I have the rs4.0 steering wheel. The wheel is no thicker, and the diameter is no different than the original wheel. Unless it's thicker now because the price has doubled since I purchased mine.....I thought I was being taken to the cleaners back then!

I suggest custom too, saves a lot of $ and get exactly what you want. Send them yours and cover it with alcantara and the centre strip in red. The sport design wheel's plastic chrome looks cheap IMHO.
