One of my many "mods" that I just picked up today.

I ordered this last July and she came in about a month ago but I didn't get a chance to pick it up until today.

I can't wait to install it! Techart type 2 steering wheel with leather and carbon fiber


Nice and thick sides!


The BBS Racing Wheels should be here in a couple weeks! Now where's my car???

Within the next 2 weeks hopefully. Last I heard, the car was being held at port for QC control issues.

Love the steering wheel. Can't wait for pictures of it installed on your 997 turbo.

Great looking wheel Jason. How does it compare in thickness to the thicker steering wheel that Porsche offers as an option.

Oh and tell us more about the BBS wheels coming.

Terk, it's a LOT thicker than the factory thicker wheel from Porsche, especially around the sides as you can see in the picture. Feels extremely "meaty." I absolutely can't wait to try it out in my car.

These are the wheels I'm getting. They're about 19 lbs and one of the strongest and lightest wheels on the market.


Yes, same wheels as the ones that are on VincentDDS' car. Mine will have silver centers. 19x8.5 and 19x11.

Gorgeous wheel, I might call and get a price, its a big improvement over what I have in mine right now.
BBS wheels are second to none I think. Gorgeous mods, bet you cant wait to get them on the car.

Jason,

When there are wheels, there are ways. You have WAYYYY too many ways.

Hope to see your beauty in a few weeks. Keep me posted.
