3 spoke wheel thickness...........

I have a 6/99 996. It has a three spoke wheel. Does not feel like real leather. It does have the thicker areas for thumbs. I measure the thickness at 3cm. Can anybody tell me on later production cars what thickness their steering wheels are?

My 2000 S4 had the perfect steering wheel. I wonder what thickness it was.

I really like the one Gert has in Alcantra with red stitching.

All of the 3 spoke steering wheels are leather, some of the airbags are not stitched leather though, the thickness on them is all the same except for the new option of the extra thick wheel.

The FVD catalog has several options from Atiwe. One of them is exactly like the RUF and Cargraphic one (4 Piece). Anybody know anything about them?

Don't assume. It's really just the same wheel with an extra layer of leather, for a whopping $675!
