I believe they are called Atiwe "Daytona" and FVD sells them (Ruf also uses them) and they are pretty comfy. They go from $700-1600 on the FVD site.

Those are some STUNNING steering wheels...If disposable income were abundant, I wouldn't know which one to choose..

It's, it's....Like driving while having sex in the palm of your hands...wait,

that doesn't sound right...

In my eyes the 3-spoke 996 steering wheel is the nicest!

A lot of after market wheels are nice but they always looks "after market"...

+1. I had an Aitwe wheel in my previous 993. The next one will have a 996 wheel.

All my favorite ones are non-airbag wheels. Love the looks of the 993RS and pp3/996 Cup (Momo Mod.07) wheels.

I agree looks wise. But feel wise, there is nothing better IMHO than a thick 340 wheel. I have the below one with silver stitching. At $1600+ it is a bit pricey.

I have a red/black Gemballa like that, also made by Atiwe. It has the Gemballa signature in the leather and stitched airbag cover instead of the crest.

I believe Atiwe pretty much supplys everyone, who then covers/stitches to their specs.

That wheel is indeed an Atiwe and quite a number of tuners use it as the basis of their wheels, including Techart and Gemballa. Below is a Gemballa wheel modified with foam grips.
