Thicker Steering Wheel
Not to hijack this thread, but what ever happened to the guy who purchased the ALG (I think) wheel that looked horrible?[/quote]
I'm that guy. The wheel itself looks OK but the airbag cover looks crummy. If I had it to do over again. I would buy and aftermarket wheel and call it a day ALGA is just not up to the job.
We should get together one day and you can see it in person. I'm in Alexandria.

Hey Gunther, sorry, I couldn't remember who got it. Did you end up using the wheel, or did you get a replacement?
Also, yes to getting together. Let me know, and maybe we can round up a few other guys.

I sent the wheel back and asked him for an advice of refund. I havent heard from him...so... Its in the AMEX dispute queue.
Hmm... talk about thicker steering wheels. How about this one??

Well, I cant wait for this to be available. Although, I think I'd want this without the badge at the bottom....
Coming from an M3..I hope this is thick enough...considering the TechArt ones arent that thick...

Sounds like a deal! Whats the diameter that you got? Also, airbags with the embossed Porsche logo...is that available from FVD as well?? And..what if I dont like want that lil logo at the bottom..??

I got the 340mm. I believe it does come with the airbag (or maybe stock airbag is reused), but it's not embossed with the Porsche crest. It comes with the FVD logo at the bottom, but it's pretty small and I guess you could swap it out if you wanted. I personally don't really care if the FVD logo is there or not, but I'm assuming that can be swapped out.
Here's a pic of the wheel I ordered:

Here it is in CF:

I have the FVD CF 340...it is thicker. The FVD sticker is just that, it is glued to the leather. It does not come with the Porsche logo. I am having a custom red leather with silver Porsche crest made right now for the airhead portion. I'll post pics when it is done.
