Sharing old pics is the only thing that gets me through the long Canadian winter storage season. Nardi Gara wheel with custom horn button. I think the curvy shapes suit the 90s design aesthetic of the rest of the 993 interior. I came from a concave Momo cup wheel which felt great in the hands but I felt the exposed metal spokes didn't quite match my desired vibe for the interior.
That Nardi wheel has a similar looking grip shape to the RS wheel. I also went through a couple of different MOMOs - the prototipo and the mod.03 - but the feel and positioning of the RS is just spot on for me.
Steering wheels are very personal choice. The feel of these wheels and the way they make the car drive is radically different.
I have had a chance to try all of the wheels (4 spoke, 3 spoke, and the RS one). They are all very different.
I think I like the 996 3 spoke one so far in terms of tactile feel and function. The thumb rests/notches are nice and does a good job absorbing NVH. The stock 4 spoke is similar in feel but larger in diameter which is a bit large for my tastes. I am actually having both a 4 and 3 spoke rewrapped and thickened and make the call once I have it back on the car which one fits in better with my interior job.
The RS momo one looks great, and I am still getting used to it. One thing I don't like about it is the leather is a bit slippery when your palms get sweaty and too thin. Probably driving with some gloves will help with me. Also a downside you don't realize until you drive with one is you now "feel" more as momo hub has no rubber further increasing NVH.
I know this is an old thread, but what wheel did you finally choose?
I just replaced my RUF wheel with a Porsche Cup wheel (aka Momo Mod07).
It's made a huge difference. Surprised how much sharper the steering feels from having a slightly smaller diameter wheel and smaller rim circumference. Plus I think it looks incredible.
I fitted a Raid but then reverted back to OEM Carbon to match the rest of my interior.
The reason, the slightly smaller diameter raid just adds weight to an already heavy steering, going back to OEM diameter is easier to use in practice ...
