Finally got the MOMO Protipito S installed. The airbag light needed to be turned off at the indie shop and I am still waiting on the 964 horn contact but the job is done.
Impressions. Since this is a 350mm (stock 380mm) is smaller I am sacrificing full view of the gauges (speedo and oil temp). I wish the wheel was tilted up a bit so I could still see those gauges without having to **** my head down.
Still, the smaller wheel feels nice and somehow makes me feel a little more connected to the steering and handling. Not quite a go cart but better than the 90s big steering wheel thing. Just right actually.
The look? For me, perfect. Others might disagree but I love it. Especially with the Walrod gauge trims. I should mention this is a true hand stiched vintage wheel from the 60's or 70's, not a newer factory wheel. Just adds a little something authentic.
One more thing...I already know I am drivng without an airbag and I am the stupidist person on earth...so please don't remind me with pictures of wrecked Porsches and horror stories. I am quite aware of it all...thanks!

Looks good, Andy.
Momo makes an offset spacer that will raise the wheel about 10 mm to help with the gauge vision. Does not make it look too skewed either. I had one and gave it to a friend who needed it. They are hard to come by but worked perfectly for him.
Good luck on the horn part of it.

Andy-- Wow, what a classic look! You're right: goes really well with your Walrod gauge rings, plus your MacIntosh stereo's silver accents.
I've daydreamed about obtaining an RS steering wheel, some similarity in simple execution vs. stock 993 airbag wheels.
You've got an artistic eye; subtle editing to emphasize your new wheel makes for a great photo. The black & white side-view mirror evokes a simpler era, too ![Stick Out Tongue](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Drive safe, & enjoy -- I LUV every well thought out mod you've made to your Arena Red beauty

Funny - the wiper intermittent adjustment **** is in full view through the right most hole in the wheel, at first I thought you relocated it to the wheel!
Great interior. Love that color - cashmere? And som tasty Sport seats, mmm!
+993!
Take care!

The center of the wheel will be off axis by about 1/4" with the Momo offset plate. However, you will not really feel it in normal driving. And your OEM wheel is also off axis in the center. As are 99% of modern steering wheels. If you turn any wheel in any car exactly half a turn you'll see it. We just never pay attention to it.
