Which Steering Wheel To buy
I have narrowed it down to the 930s steering wheel.
I understand that there can be a big difference in quality between some companys. So which place should I buy it from - I want the best looking wheel Ebay : or Ajusa.com Link or somewhere else? |

In your two links, one is the original (with the open seam) and one is the repro (with pieced leather). Believe it or not, the same manufacturer makes them both -- although they're not the same. I'd make your choice, and then call Pelican to see if they can get it for you.

Pelican still has the 930S steering wheel in the "Recommended Upgrades" section but the catalog say the wheel and the spacer are NLA.

Bello,
The wheel on Ebay is a Factory Porsche part. I ordered mine at my local dealership--they even gave me 10% off b/c I am a PCA member. When I ordered mine there were only 2 left in the USA and I was told they might take a while to get from the supplier if they are out. By far the 930S wheel is one of the best upgrades I have made to my car. If you need me to look up the part # for you I can, just let me know.

So the original has one long seam on the bottom spoke and the imposter has a short seam on the bottom spoke and three pieces of leather covering each of the 3 spokes?

For what it's worth, I think only the original Porsche part is offset which makes it much easier to read your gauges. I switched out a Momo which came on my car for it and the difference is very noticeable. I love mine, got it around 5 months ago from the same ebay source but called directly.
