I just bought and received a T96 last week, will be installing once it warms up
Wheel looks extremely well made, looking forward to testing it out

There was a thread going around a few weeks ago about the RAID wheel, might want to search for that one.

I haven't searched too much yet, just getting ideas. To be honest I think my first upgrade will be the numeric short shifter.

Honestly I really like the OEM look, and using the original airbag is a plus too.

I'm really not a huge fan of the RAID wheel, I actually like the DCT wheel.

U like the stock wheel then cause that's a modified stock wheel that isn't nearly as nice quality. But u like what u like. Sounds like u have ur mind made up. Why not just order it?

I have a DCT T96 wheel. IT's a pretty good replacement for the stocker. Smaller size and well made overall. I wish the padding was a bit thicker/softer though, more like the wheels in my M cars. Definitely an improvement though, and you keep the stock look and components. I got red stitching on mine to match my interior.

According to DCT's website they require a core exchange.

Thumbs up

I have a T96 paddle shift version. Love it, would never want to go back to the original wheel.

For the manual trans version, simply a T96, see below:

Steering wheel specification:
Steering wheel was designed to adapter OEM airbag (triangle type 996/986 airbag only)
Overall diameter reduce from OEM 14” ¾ to 13” 1/2 (top to bottom) and 14” 1/8 (left to right)
Overall thickness (circumference) increase from OEM 4” 1/8 to 4” 7/8
Leather color: Black (more colors coming up)
Stitching color: BLACK/RED (more colors coming up)
NO core exchange required.

The vendor is on this forum.

Check out this thread for more info.
