Which steering wheel...

Hey guys, lemme know what do u think of these steering wheels and which one would be better.
The 4-spoke is about $200 more expensive, and its a Gambella wheel. Not sure how much 'smaller' than the OEM.

Opinions??

If you're gonna ditch the airbag, why not also consider a beefy flat-bottom race wheel? That's what I'm thinking of looking into. I don't like the stock wheel one bit.

Not feeling the three spoker so my choice between these would have to be the Gemballa.

The 3 spoke wheel looks way to modern for the 993 interior, IMO. I'd stick with the 4 spoke, but not in black/red. Solid Black. I saw one of those wheels Gamballa made, piece of junk if you ask me. All they did was take the stock wheel, strip it, mold a couple thumb nubs @ 10 and 2 then recover.

Is this for track or street, I like the 3 spoke better however if you are going to ditch the airbag for street use, you really ought to rethink that is not a smart idea for looks.

There is another option for ya:
TechArt 340 or 320mm. Small with airbag and you can customize it all you want. Not cheap but worth it. Here is a pic of the 340mm version in my cabrio:

I prefer the 3 spoke from the two choices you gave. But, I would also highly consider the TechArt steering wheel that DJF1 suggested.
