Default Raid steering wheel

Someone (I think on the 993 forum) asked about a Raid steering wheel on EBAY from Ramperformance. Well, a little checking on the web and I found out that they are the importer for Raid into the UK. I came up with a number and called them to verify a few things and felt comfortable enough to place an order.

I have been eying a similar wheel from FVD here in the states and I have to say that Rhonda has been more than helpful. However, *****, who I assume runs the place, had me filling out paperwork and authorizations that really started to get on my nerves. I didn’t have to jump through that many hoops to get my Top Secret security clearance. I was then told shipping was going to be north of a hundred bucks. NO THANKS.

I just got this in the mail! I paid $1037.00 SHIPPED! It came in a Raid box and even included the hub. A similar package from FVD is $1722.00, and add shipping to that.

Just a satisfied customer looking to pay it forward!

Do they make one without the carbon fiber?

Here's the link

I don't know if the EBAY pricing applies to other wheels. Make sure you tell them not to charge you the VAT. Saves 17.5%

silly question. Just for my knowledge, but why would a 320mm wheel be better/more desirable than stock or larger wheel?? Would a 320mm wheel be considered an "important" upgrade?

They sure do. I purchased this from a friend who had in his lotus and traded the car in. The leather adapter was from FVD for $200.
