What steering wheel options do we have

Switching from the M wheel in my X5 4.6 and being use to the Audi sport steering wheels in the S4's and RS cars, I feelin that the Cayenne is really missing something....

Any good custom places? Or aftermarket steering wheels.

Help, also pics and pricing would help as well.

ur options are:
factory thicker steering wheel (in Turbo S)
factory carbon fiber steering wheel (skinny as well)
Techart steering wheel (very thick)
other aftermarket brand like Gemballa

coming from BMW u'll need something thick. after getting used to the steering wheel in M5 anything else on the market is too skinny. factory thicker steering is ok & a nice improve over the stock but i think only Techart size will please u.

Not a huge difference, but It has more padding for a more substantial feel/grip and it is still heated. Once again I was *****-slapped by shorty though, because she wanted to keep the heated functionality, otherwise I would have gone Carbon Fiber fo sho....then CF grab handles, shifter, and maybe door pulls...the mod obsession would not end with just the wheel you see, so maybe listening to her(or should I say obeying her) was for the better!

Techart makes a CF steering wheel too.

I also totally agree with 20C4S about the BMW wheels. I just have "gotten into" an M wheel on my wife's new Bim and it is substantial and feels great. The Cayenne OEM thicker one is not too bad though for our limited choices.
