Really want to do this with my car, one question I can get the steering wheel from a gt4 (basically the same) one issue as they don't have the paddles as they are manual, can they be swopped over?
Seems all the rs steering wheels are with you guys, cost,postage and import charges make it expensive.
Many thanks, Carl

I have that wheel in my Macan and I love it. I am seriously considering doing it to my GT3 now.

I really want to do this as well....but the $4k cost has me thinking twice, three, four.......
If it was $2500 or less it would have been done. Even $3k and I'd likely do it. But at $4k I'm not sure I can justify it...YET!

I installed the GT3 RS wheel based on the following: I figure when it comes time to sell the car, I can take the wheel off super easily and re-sell it for at least 50-75% of what I bought it for. So the cost of ownership is more like $1k-$2k tops.

I like the RS and GT4 wheels - have owned both. But I LOVE the new wheel on the 991.2 in black with the controls built in, I have not owned so tried over time, just a test drive - but very nice, better than in current GT cars IMO.

It's worth it for the crisper PDK levers alone...

Did you sell your stock wheel?

And you're right....it's only money...BUT...I've worked/work very hard and have made sacrifices to be able to earn an amazing living and have a comfortable and fortunate life. I value my hard earned dollars.
This all said....I think you may have persuaded me! Though, what sucks is I just sent a $4k check to the Gov't for taxes! F-ers!!!

hello all, hoping you can help.
i bought my 991 Gt3 new and six months later did the steering wheel swop to the rs version with a new airbag, alls been great, took it to the dealer for a service and warranty renewal and they are getting a code fault for the steering wheel, it seems they don’t realise I have changed the wheel and just assume it’s a warranty fault, only issue is I wish I put the standard unit on before going in, has anyone had the similar issue? I don’t want them realising it’s an issue with me and I getting the repair bill.
i never noticed any difference with the wheels etc and all plugs fitted fine, can someone tell me if there are electronics other than the paddles in the steering wheel.
many thanks, Carl
