993 Steering Wheel Options

![Question](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
The stock 4-spoke steering wheel feels a bit large and thin to me. I'd prefer a wheel that has a smaller diameter, as well as a larger grip. I also want a wheel with an airbag. I thought I read that besides the 996 wheel, a Boxster wheel until model year 2003 wheel work.
What are the diameters of the 996 and Boxster wheels? Are their grips somewhat larger than the 993 wheel? Does anything special need to be done to install them on a 993? Are there any other options?
Thanks
Sorry if this has been covered previously; I did do a search, but couldn't quickly find information on wheel diameters and thickness'.

3 and 4 spokers are the same. If you want a smaller one with thicker diameter and airbag you can look at the Atiwe Raid line of wheels. Ruf and TechArt use them as well. I'm personally not a fan since they look decidedly aftermarket.

I loved it. It didn't look out of place IMO. The reduced diameter was perfect for driving, and to give me more leg room for clutching/braking. I liked the thickness too.

I had the Silberpfeil... here's another member's thread about his.

I have the DCT modified 3 spoke and like it very much. Smaller diameter and significantly thicker than the stock wheels. It does block more of the instrument dials but the improved feel is worth the trade.

Actually there is a GT3 option wheel called "CPZ". Was like $600 option and it is a thicker grip than the normal 996 wheel. Pretty rare. And I have one

Does it come with the airbag, or does that need to be purchased seperately?
Is this wheel positioned any closer to the driver than the stock wheel? Do you know if a spacer can be used to get the wheel any closer to the driver?
