that FVD wheel looks awesome.

 

My mechanic told me not only to disconnect the battery but wait at least 5 minutes before you disconnect the bag as there is a slow discharge capacitor in the system that might have enough voltage to deploy the airbag if you try to pull it sooner.

I don't know if this is fact but better to be safe than have a face full of airbag.

I have this one and it feels much better

 

Have you been having problems keeping a grip on your current wheel?, have the spokes been getting in the way? Probably not but as I first responded, "it's a matter of personal taste, and grip comfort"

I also don't think a smaller dia wheel does much good in an everyday driver but does make a big difference in a race car due to close seating position and the left knee working the clutch, that's why I have always used a MOMO D wheel in my past race cars for clearance.

Here's a pic of my 996 gt3rs alcantera steering wheel

 

Although I haven't had this whhel on the trackyet (January) I LOVE IT!! 340 MM nice and thick with an airbag. I installed it last week and purchsed it from a felow R-Lister (Skip).

 

I bought one of the 340mm wheels on the group buy...and love it! It changes the feel of the car and when I drive another 993 with a stock wheel it feels like a truck...waaaayy to large!

 

Would a tiptronic wheel work? I want to swap over but am afraid the tiptronic won't work, does anyone know by any chance?

 

I have a 1996 Tip C2 with a 996 three spoke and it works great. The buttons are also better positioned and work better than the stock wheel. I can shift with out taking my hands off of the wheel.

 

Thanks!! The hunt is on!
