930S Wheel Update...

Wayne 962 · Wayne 962's Garage

More 930S wheels will be here tomorrow (not the full boat load but plenty of them).

I will put the new pricing into the catalog. I will also only have hubs for 1974-89 911s...

Wayne, that wheel is on my gift receiving list. Does it require a spacer of any type for an 85? Or is it a even swap for the 85 carrera wheel? Im ever so slightly vertically challenged so don't need the wheel out far from the dash.

Dan it is not so much bringing the wheel closer to the driver as the spacer moves the wheel out and up from the dash which allows more space for your fingers behind the wheel and enables you to view the gauges.

What is the final deal on this thing ?

Bought and installed the 930 wheel. It is beautiful and only wish I had waited for Wayne's great price!

I have an 87 Targa and got the spacer on a recommendation from Rennlist. The spacer did bring the wheel out from the dash, and allowed the gauges to be seen more easily. However, the wheel was then so off-center that steering seemed strange.

I took the spacer off and use the wheel without it now. The original 4 spoke wheel seemed too close to the dash when I first got the car, and the new wheel is almost exactly the same distance away, but I really disliked the eccentric feel of the spacer. Decide whether you can live with the stock wheel's position before buying the spacer. Just my 2 cents.

I posted this prematurely - please don't email me, or phone in. Note the word *DON'T*. We are not ready to sell the wheels just yet, and I will let you know when I have ample supply to cover orders. Also, the price will probably be slightly higher than the initial batch because our import shipping costs have risen in the meantime...
