Raid Steering Wheel through Carnewal vs Stock Steering Wheel

I put an order to Carnewal for the 340mm Cavallo Race Steering wheel.

The steering wheel comes with an airbag, no core charge.

Comes with a Porsche Symbol to put in the middle of the steering wheel.

I also ordered the black painted hub.

The thickness of the steering wheel is amazing. Plus the 340mm size and the flat bottom will definitely add some leg room for the taller guys, like myself.

Here are some reference photos of everything (I did not see a thread on this, so this is the reason I am posting)

Total cost shipped for everything was right ~$790. Not bad.


Comparison photos to come. Here is some quick shots of the steering wheel.

I have the same wheel in carbon/leather and paddles for the Tiptronic. It's fantastic! Got it from Gert Carnewal about 3 years ago.

Shoot Gert an email. By far the lowest prices for a raid steering wheel anywhere. I did a lot of searching too.

Everything came within 2 weeks.

My Carbon/leather wheel with paddles was closer to $1400 including shipping from Belgium to Western Canada.

here's your other thread on it i found it lol. i just got mine yesterday and the porsche crest sticker is suprisingly usable and not too cheap looking. got it in two days from belgium after waiting three weeks for it to get to carnewal from RAID but well worth the wait. 800 bucks with the hub delivered. not bad is right! it's awesome.

LOL, yup. Long time coming. Its amazing quality. Funny thing is I was searching lots of photos and saw some SUPER high end cars and they all were using Raid wheels, some just rebadged.

Looks great! Much better than rewrapping the OEM wheel, IMHO.

i don't im sorry. but first thing i did upon opening the box was center it and peel off the backing tape. again, its a decent little stick on adhesive piece that is not "flat" but rather "raised" slightly so as to give it some "depth". it looks great and i was able to center it just above the "SRS" portion of the lower center section. i realize one pic wouldve saved a 100 words lol. sorry

So this becomes a projectile if the airbag deploys?
