RE: Alan Gun Leather mentioned above.
I did use them to re-wrap the steering wheel in one of my old Supras: I sent it in (during winter - i wasn't driving the car anyway) and they replaced the leather. It was already a thick rim wheel so I didn't have them make it any thicker, just the original leather had dried out / cracked and made the interior look much older than it was - so I wanted it replaced.
Now this was a few years back (so things may have changed) but I did receive great service from them. The wheel looked brand new - the leather was perfect. The guy I dealt with on the phone seemed to know his stuff and he made sure they had the right pattern and everything ready to go before he told me to ship my wheel to them.

The thicker = less feedback thing makes sense, but I liked the thick rim wheel I had on that old Supra. Just not sure how far I'd go / how much I'd spend / quality I'd risk to change out the stock wheel on my 911.

 

I still want one.

 

I agree. The stock "plastic" wheel that came on my 08 C2S felt like driving a 20K car. I bought the XPA and it's much nicer. If anyone wants a brand new wheel to send out to get wrapped, mine in available for $250 OBO. PM me. Thanks

 

The TechArt steering wheel is def the way to go...
Feel free to contact me for special pricing

 

This is the way to go...we just did this wheel for a customer in Florida. This is a GT3 RS wheel in alcantara with a yellow ring, and red stitching.

 

Could not stand the stock steering wheel, I have the smaller thicker FVD wheel, I love it

 

Does the colored ring have a purpose or is it just for looks?

 

FVD also makes a large assortment of steering wheels. I have their paddle tip leather one.

Thanks for the education.....never knew about the ring!

 

How do you like the paddles? I just got a quote from them on a multi-function w/paddles.

 

Arzo: love em -work well and feel natural. I'm not too happy with the horn button placements as I sometimes honk while shifting....
