Update:

1. 996 steering wheel recover is same price as 993 steering wheel recover -> 100 EUR
2. Turnaround time is roughly < 1 week from the time they receive the wheel. If you order a customization such as modifying the grip, make it smaller, add carbon, processing time will increase to 2-3 weeks.

Thanks

This might be a slight confusion in terms, There are two 996 wheels - a 4-spoke similar to a 993 and a 3-spoke that we are generally calling "a 996 wheels". IIRC, Carsdream charges slightly more for a 4-spoke recovering than a 3-spoke. Which is logical to me as most craftsmanship is needed right around the spokes.

I had the same question as he quoted me different prices a year ago. He said the price for a 4 spoke recover the same for a 3 spoke recover for this group buy.

That;s good, makes it a bit cheaper for the 4-spoke guys.

I missed the group by, but just got mine yesterday! Note the airbag isn't affixed.

Looks great! Did you go with 2mm or 3mm foam to make it thicker, or something else?

synth19

Agreed. I'm happy with the work! I just told them to go thicker and gave them a sample image from a previous group buy here. I did not give them specifics. I can measure the total circumference when I have a chance.

I think the "standard" thickening is about 3mm (1/8"). At least I believe that mine were done this way, And it feels damn near perfect to me (size Medium gloves). But someone with larger hands might want even a bit more.

Still time to get in on this?

I'd like to have this done, 993 4 spoke wheel - 3mm thickness with perforated leather around the 4 spoked areas and top & bottom areas with solid leather all with guard red stitching.

Can someone tell me what the total turn around time would be & what the date/month this will occur?

Can this be with the group shipping?? I would ship to & back to my US address.

samurai_k

Yes. Still open. @gw911nine97 @hapkido2 just PM'd you.

Thanks

Update:

The thickening service comes in two options

4mm thickening - Add a 2mm pad that thickens the diameter a total of 4mm
6mm thickening- Add a 3mm pad that thickens the diameter a total of 6mm

The standard option most get is the 4mm option.

Thanks

Update:

13 wheels, 2 brake levers, and 1 **** en-route to Poland. Anyone still interested in the group buy I have a black 3 spoke 996 wheel and matching airbag core for $475 available. Work should start at the end of November...
