Curious if anyone has found this exact spec of wheel:

Black leather, PDK, No MF, No Heat, Black inserts w/ screws, black trim, carmine red stitching, carmine red indicator. I found an auction with a similar wheel but in manual so I think it might exist somewhere! Suncoast has it without indicator in red https://www.suncoastparts.com/produc...T39912LEA.html thinking it's the closest I'll find.

The unicorn I've been searching for:

Wow, that's a killer looking wheel. It would work really well with my GTS interior.

The black trim and inserts are available on Suncoast, but I've yet to see a black leather wheel with the carmine red stitching and center stripe. I want to say there is a 991 GT3RS wheel that is similar, but in alcantara and possibly in a different red.

Do you have a link to the auction of the manual wheel?

The wheel hardware itself is universal. That is, the metal frame and the outer wrapping (leather, alcantara,carbon).



The rest varies based on trim/features. They're all added onto that basic frame. The basic metal/leather is the same regardless of manual/pdk. Those are down to the rear cover. Manual has a closed cover, PDK has openings for the paddles. Likewise the front cover, plain or with the dial wheel. Then there's the inserts that go into the spokes. These then also vary based on the finish (black/silver and possibly others). I believe there's some variance on how the clock spring contacts the wheel based on features (but I'm not certain). So it seems like there's potential for a mix-and-match once you find the ideal outer covering.
