New Steering Wheel?
I am looking to replace my factory steering wheel. It is the factory 3-spoke Savanah and carbon type. Part of the carbon has cracked, my guess is due to the heat. I am thinking about replacing with an aftermarket such as TechArt, SpeedArt of RUF. I like the idea of a thicker wheel that they all make, it think 360mm. I cant seem to find anywhere how to find the right wheel and if it is available with the Savannah-match leather. If anyone has any insight or experience on any of these type steering wheels, I would appreciate it. Thanks

I did some searching on the sight. Sounds like CARNEWAL has the factory 3-spoke leather/ carbon in a thicker version. I like the style of the stock wheel, just want it in a larger diameter. They said the thicker one is a bit pricey from them. I will call today and post.

Thanks!
I did speak with FVD in FLA yesterday. Here is what I learned if anyone else is looking.
1. I want the Savannah beige/CF to match the factory 3-spoke leather/ CF that I want to replace.
2. It has to be special ordered.
3. Cost is the ballpark of $1,600+ with wheel and hub
4. Most importantly, the wheel is 340mm ( its the Daytona version ) I was told since I am 6'7", that I will have obstruction of the tach between 4 and 6K.
For any tall P-car drivers, I would say the wheel is worth the $$$, but probably not at the sake of viewing the tach.
