Does Gemballa have a steering wheel that will cleanly incorporate the porsche crest

I want the Gemballa steering wheel or one that looks very similar except, I want to use the Porsche crest and have it seamlessly incorporated into the wheel just as my stock wheel. Any suggestions? I am simply wondering if anyone makes a wheel that will incorporate the original porsche crest without modification.

Thanks

Lou

Ralph Boothe can make what you want for any wheel.

Anyone interested in a group buy for the Techart wheel? I can't justify paying $2K, even with a trade in of the current wheel. The exchange rate is killing the German pricing.

Richard: I can't believe the price has more than doubled in 3 years, but I guess anything is possible. BTW, TA has always required that your stock wheel be exchanged, otherwise you pay a $600 core charge if you want to keep the stocker.

Jack,
Ron wanted the exactly same steering as yours including airbag unit, and that's the current price to pay

for people that are interested in the steering wheel only & willing use the factory airbag unit the price is significantly lower.

contact me if interested

So what is the price if I re-use the factory airbag unit?

Why change the airbag when upgrading to the TA wheel? Is the only difference in the deviated stitching on the airbag.

yes, he wanted to match the silver/grey stitching on the steering wheel. on top of it he wanted the silver crest, so a new airbag was needed.

PM me for price & spec. u can have carbon as well.

I bought a silver emblem from Ralph and put that on the airbag. It works great and saved around $400. So the AB isn't an issue. I can't believe the pricing, especially since my carbon wheel was an upgrade. Let's see what the price is for the wheel alone.
