Go get the TechArt one, it is simply the best. Spring for a little extra and I think they have one with the carbon also. It is much fatter and more comfortable than the stock three spoke.
Anybody have any pictures of the techart wheel? Currently undecided on whether to go with the factory or techart 3 spoke.

I have the TechArt Catalog..I can scan whatever you like.
In case you want to stick with factory stuff, I've got the factory carbon fiber wheel. The grip is much thicker than stock. Mine is in Met Blue leather.
The other cool thing about the TechArt wheel is that you can use the factory center piece, horn assembly and airbag. They can build you anything you want, my wheel is two-color leather with deviated stitching (the second color is at the top of the wheel).

The TechArt wheel is a factory 3-spoke steering wheel which is recovered in your choice of carbon or various leather/stitching colors and made significantly thicker than the stock wheel. You retain your air bag or you can have it customized as well, similar to what Porsche does with its Exclusive Options program. TechArt leather colors are an exact match for any of the factory offered leather colors. Here's an example of a TA wheel in my car...

What size is the wheel - Is it the 340mm techart wheel?

Mark: It's the factory wheel redone by TechArt --same overall diameter as stock, just thicker. Sorry, I'm not aware of the exact measurement.
I just had the 340mm Techart steering-wheel installed in my 996 Turbo. One word: excellent! Will try to post some pics.
That factory airbag cover will not fit the Techart 340mm, only the stock diameter ones. 365mm? They certainly are great looking wheels.
There are a lot of Gemballa wheels on eBay, too.
