What wood steering wheels suit an SC?

I'm not in love with the stock steering wheel on the SC. Anybody have a wood Nardi or Momo installed? I really like the classic Nardi 3 spoke, which might be a decade or so too "early" for the SC but would class up the otherwise slightly dated look of the brown dash.

Nice looking car and nice looking wheel, but I do think that with that wheel, you'll start to see other things you'll want to back date to match the look. Nothing wrong with that at all, but personally, my eye would find mismatches that I'd want to correct. ...chrome window trim, chrome mirrors, old gauges, etc..

I have seen Momo Prototipo done in wood that might be the right look.

Here's what I found that might be very nice: Wooden Momo

Points taken on having a date conflict. The momo and personal are both nice and their simpler less retro look would probably be appropriate. I even like the used ones with a bit of patina.

This was before I redid my interior, but you get the idea.

It's not an E-type, it is a 911. No wooden steering wheel will suit a SC interior unless you date it way waaaay back IMO.

Yup, that's why I went back to a regular SC steering wheel.

That's what my DE instructor said as well.

Do what makes you happy, that's why it's called "customizing."

My 944 came with this guy on it, the PO thought it was perfect. Didn't suit me, so I swapped it out. Went back in when I sold the car.

Maybe I should have rephrased my question - what is a good visual upgrade to the stock wheel?
Overall I agree that wood steering wheels are unusual in 80's sports cars.
I'm not in love with the momo prototypo - are there any other period wheels that suit the SC?

Post #6 with the Momo Retro is my favorite.
