Default MkII RS steering wheel?

I know this is an optional Turbo steering wheel but noticed the band at the top of the rim? I think the RS will get this style steering wheel but covered in black alcantara with yellow band, don't you think?

That wheel is hot.

Too bad it would probably look goofy as crap in my 964...I'd rock it hard.

The steering wheel has nothing to do with PDK because those paddles are fixed to the column, not to the wheel. I know the RS is not coming with PDK.

This is the steering wheel that should be in the current Gen II GT-3, with flat or semi-gloss spokes/hub. HOT!

Yup, that and the matte/semi gloss black spokes idea would be awesome.

I would think that you can order the wheel with alcantara as an option, so you may be able to buy it as a part that way also. Then have a good upholstery shop add the yellow band, and a paint shop do the spokes.

$4K later you should have the perfect steering wheel.

I'll stick with my 320 mm Cup wheel for now.

Actually not correct. The paddles are attached to the wheel. Besides, the wheel looks cheesy, straight out of the lastest Mustang.

you would think the paddles are part of the wheel as you'll need them to follow the wheel to shift coming out of a turn.

That's the nicest looking MKII wheel I've seen yet.
