I need a Black 3-spoke 996 steering wheel for my 2003 in nice condition. I am converting my C2 back to a street car and it's being replaced by my new (to me) GT3. I don't need the airbag but would consider one with the wheel at the right price. Send me a PM if you have one available and how much you want. I am in the USA. Thanks in advance.

Here is the complication, I have yet to find a way to ship it, legally. The air bag is technically an explosive. So, $499, and I will deliver it to LA or San Francisco Bay Area. 250 miles is about all I am willing to drive, and I will want reimbursement for my gas....my car gets 40 mpg so it won't be that bad. If this doesn't work, it goes back into the storage unit until the end of time.

I had this wheel on my 2004 GT3 for a while: It came out of a 993 and appears to me to be covered in real leather. When installed, it doesn't set off air bag alert light on the dash, on either the 993 of my 2004 GT3. I didn't put leather cleaner/polisher on it yet...it is fresh out of the car. There are no rips or tears or scratches on the wheel or air bag.

Why sell this gem? I have a very long back...I am 6'2" and my inseam is about 30", so you can see I am a "grunt legger" as we used to say. As a result of my disproportionately short legs, and long back, the top of the wheel partially obscured the top gauges. So I went back to stock.

Being the sport that I am, I will cover the Pay pal fee. You pay for my Prius gas round trip.If you are contemplating this extraordinary wheel, I can take more pics.



DISCLOSURE: I do have a buyer in NC, and am holding the wheel for him until 10 May, BUT, we can't figure out a way to legally ship the air bag to him. I am not willing to get into a beef with the ATF, or?, by illegally shipping an air bag. These are tenuous times.

If you have a shorter back and or larger thighs, and you want a quicker egress from the car, this wheel is for you.Attached Images

there are multiple wheels w/airbags listed on eBay and lone airbags with no particular disclaimer about shipping

I had a aftermarket wheel shipped from Belgium, (Carnewal) that arrived in a very short period of time

Perhaps ground ship only ?

^^^ I have seen the listings on Ebay I'd just rather buy from a fellow Rennlister. If I don't find one here I'll go to Ebay.

Thanks for the compliments Ratchet!
