New Steering Wheel Options Please

I have a a 2009 997.2 C2S 6 speed. As you all know the '09 6 speeds came with the older sport steering wheel. I like the look of the wheel but I'm just looking to go thicker. Literally the same look of the stock on but just thicker. Meaning I'd still like to maintain the grip bulges that the wheel has at 10 & 2.

I think I'm just looking for what DCT did here: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ing-wheel.html although

Trying to decide between going with perforated leather or the sides or just going smooth all the way.

Thoughts?

Perforated on the sides works for me. This one is from http://www.dallassteeringwheel.com/

No affiliation. Just impressed with the wheel they built. Fat and curvy with leather that makes the stock wheel feel like cardboard. Not cheap at just over $1K but worth every penny imo.

Try a CF wheel. I hated the way it looked when I first got mine but I've grown to like it and it feels outstanding and its easier to clean then leather.
