And yes, the circular sport steering wheel without the thicker spokes is the standard version.

Hi Guys!

I tried to find some price info on the Techart sports steering wheel but was not very succesful. How much does it cost? Is is the same for euro and US spec cars?

Thanks!

DJ, always happy to help out.

These are the prices for the Techart steering wheel. These's a $600 core charge if you decide to keep your OEM one. The stock airbag is re-used.

Type 1 is the circular sport steering wheel and type 2 is the multifunction steering wheel.

Type - Part numbers - Price in USD
Type 1 black - 097.430.370.201 - $1,489
Type 1 color as desired - 097.430.370.CCC - $1,659
Type 1 color/carbon - 097.430.370.CCC/CF - $1,989 (this is what I have)
Type 2 black - 097.430.371.201 - $1,489
Type 2 color as desired - 097.430.371.CCC - $1,659
Type 2 color/carbon - 097.430.371.CCC/CF - $1,989

I chose to have them leave the Techart logo off so that it looks as if it was OEM equipment. That's the reason why I didn't like the ones from FVD because it hardly looks OEM to me.

Atomic,

That is also why I went with Techart. I ordered mine without the logo and with gray matching stitching to the black leather interior.

I got the sport steering wheel (no Multifunction)... The normal steering wheel reminded me of the old VW buses. Also, there was someone selling a 997-GT3 wheel; it comes in alcantra.
