Default It might look like this

If the spyder came with the GT3RS wheel it might look like this.

I like the look. Wish it came that way. How did you do that?

Definitely not worth $1800 for the real thing. Maybe worth having someone like Paul Champagne recover the factory wheel. For reference http://www.designpaulchampagne.com/PorscheLeather.html

We would need to convince him to make the wheels, most of his focus has been on 928's and 944's but with enough interest he might consider doing some work for the 987.

It is just a piece of tape over the black band that comes standard. I will keep mine black.

I would definitely be interested.

Yes, the sport wheel became available with the 2012 spyder. I believe the sport wheel is covered in alcantara, mine is leather cause of the full leather interior option. I think it was about $250, which makes it a pretty good value as options go, particularly when some of the parts counter alternatives are multiples higher.
