This guy is not shipping to the US at this time. Anyone have any leads on a wheel similar here in the states?

Dallas customs does'nt have this.

interesting. He's known for a lot of steering wheel swaps in the BMW community for a while stateside.

He's not shipping due to the Covid 19. I'm sure at some point he'll resume. I'd like one sooner than later.

May want to reach out to another seller on eBay - "911ava". He does fantastic work. Although expensive.

Check with DCT: http://www.dctms.com/product_ST_PCH.html I bet they can duplicate it.

Vivid Racing did my wheel, they can have pretty much anything made domestically. i worked with Austin... "austin@vividracing.com"

I will give Vivid a call first. Just got word that the guy from Germany has resumed shipping.

I want to want that wheel, but I think that particular method of adding a flat bottom doesn't make sense.

I could be wrong, but visually, it looks like the overall top to bottom diameter is actually the same as stock, so instead of the flat bottom creating clearance for your legs, it's actually making the circumference of the wheel BIGGER to accommodate the visual but non-functional flat bottom. There would actually be less thigh clearance when the wheel is turn 30-45 degrees either direction. I would assume that none of us ever sat in a 997 and wished for a BIGGER steering wheel.

Is that how everyone else sees it, too? Or did I get myself confused visually?

i think its visual... i measured the radius and the bottom radius is less then the top. so actually seems to be more room

Well I decided to spend my money here. Don @ Dallas Custom is sending me this wheel after he replaces the lower alcantara with red. It will match my ebrake he just recovered. Quality was fantastic.

I think its a decent choice.

Ironman88

It is a great choice.
Once it's installed - perhaps update with a photo or two?

Khloesdad

Will do.
