Top or bottom one would be my pics. Mid two look like cheesey "ricer" wheels.

I personally prefer the top one in your pictures... The RS wheel from Carnewal is also very nice if you are considering it.

Cheers;

I like all of the MOMOs with the exception of that "chromey" one...that looks horrible and like it should be in some sort of Camaro or something. I also really like that RS wheel...if it was my car, I'd do the RS wheel from Carnewal....Porsche OEM equipment, and will look better since it was designed for the car by Porsche...

I like the top one, just watch your hands if you leave that aluminum sitting in the sun!
RaidHP also makes some very nice wheels, they're tough to get stateside, but there's a bunch of distributors that carry them on your side of the pond.

The bottom Momo one looks like most appropriate '993' wheel to me - the
Carnewal one looks a little 'soft' and plain...

Buy this one. It's factory. One hour 45 minutes to go!

Does anybody knows what prices those RAIDHP steering wheels with airbag are? They really look very nice.
I think that RS wheel looks ok but there is something (don't now what) that just looks "funny" about it?

I hate to add one more thing for you to consider...but to me the feel of the wheel is as important as the look.

John....I like that one. Will it fit on a 993 and is $400+ a fair price?

Hi Chris,

I had a Rs wheel in my 964 and didn't really liked it cause of the feeling and the "funny" look.
