I think we will see more wheels (without airbag) in this price range on the market. As the airbags are now ~¤800 from the stealer, all-in-all it's going to cost you closer to 1K to get the SW and airbag in the car. SWs without airbags in the 5-700$ range simply are not interesting anymore.. Steering wheels WITH airbags are going to command a huge premium on the market as a direct effect of the recent airbag price increase from Porsche.

Default 3 Spoke Steering Wheel & Airbag

I tend to disagree on the pricing. Black wheels w/o airbags recently sold on eBay for $132, $96, $200 and $255. Sunset sells new "combo" 3 spoke wheels and airbags for $825. So a used wheel and airbag might be worth $500 - 600 max in excellent condition.

Correct but you missed the fact that Porsche recently (as in beginning of March) revised their pricing. That applies for Sunset and similar dealers as well. Now the airbag alone is ~$800 new... Thus the wheels on ebay without the airbag will be less attractive now IMHO.

The price of 3 spoke airbags going up gives me all the reason to keep a look out for one of these. It's a TechArt model. I'd get to reuse the airbag I already have and get a cooler wheel than the stock 3 spoker. Missed out on one last year on ebay.

That Techart one is NICE, but they are way to expensive for what you get.

They also make a 3 spoke one, it's like $2k!

Default Sunset Pricing

Viggio,

As of this past week, Sunset sells the "combo" package three spoke wheel and airbag for $824 plus UPS shipping. Separately, the cost of the airbag and wheels is much higher but the combo deal is still $824 for both. It was $697 not so long ago so the price did increase.

Default 3 spoke wheel package

sunset quoted,
$824 plus shipping, sounds great.

are they in stock? no

are there any in the usa? no

do they know how long it will take to get one? they say 3 to 5 weeks,

they say that about many things that they are not sure of,

how long will it really take? nobody knows for sure.

is there a chance it wont come at all? yes


silver star recycling quoted $500 for used,

do they have one in stock? no

do they know when they will get one? no

when did they have their last one? who knows


this one is available now in excellent condition for $800
sorry for the long story, just tired of hearing about the ones that dont really exist, or not really available as a comparible.

Sunset seems to has a good reputation on Rennlist with delivering items as promised.

you mean like the owners manual i ordered from them over a year ago?
i paid for it and it never came.
it was coming from germany.
now if i want a refund, i need to take my receipt to them and get a refund.

their guess about a delivery date is an estimate, maybe sooner maybe later.
i hope someone will order a 3 spoke wheel from them and let us know how long it takes.
hopefully sooner than later.
