I'm still not completely satisfied but I don't dare return it again.
I'm not a fan of overly thick paddington bear stuffing wheels like above.
i did get a chance to drive a 996 with the optional OEM euro version thicker, smaller steering wheel. fantastic. if i didn't have my school bus CF OEM wheel to match my other OEM CF bits, i'd go for this all leather version no question.
The 996 wheel is just so damn skinny, I love the feel of the 930S wheel in my 86 and I drove a friends 3 series that had a nice "robust" wheel today, got me thinking.
I had my 3 spoke done in alcantara and added 1/16" to it and its perfect. It is the same thickness as the M5 wheel in my X5. He does a great job. Not affiliated etc. His name is Don and you can email them at dallassteeringwheel.com
I'm bitching allot today about my car for some reason, skinny wheel, Boring interior
But I do enjoy droving it!
But the wheel is kinda skinny....
This one feels right to me:
Maybe it's the angle, but that looks hella thick! I think the factory Turbo 3-spoke looks perfect on any 996. Any thicker and it starts to look like Ah-nold. On the flip-side, my MF steering wheel is way too thin. An Acura sedan shouldn't have a thicker factory wheel than any 911!
Too bad the 930 only looks good in the 930. It's hella dated.
I believe Audion19s has the thicker Euro steering wheel in his car. Not sure if he'd be willing to take a pic.
Do a search for aglausa.com (Alan Gun Leather) here on rennlist. People seem to have some very strong feeling regarding his work and his professionalism (or lack of).
Marc:
I had Alan pad my wheel and cover my airbag. I had to return it twice and it took over a year to get it back. I'm still not completely satisfied but I don't dare return it again. Alan is a nice guy and he will keep trying every time you send it back, but craftsmanship on a budget is never easy. If you don't mind "slightly" crooked stitching, "tiny" lumps under the leather and "slight" asymetrical fit, Alan can give you a nice wheel for a nice price. If you want perfection, you need to keep looking.
UCK, that's exactly what I was talking about. If not for the CF crap in my car, I'd hit that up no doubt. Deifnitely price. Perfection is to add the leather stitched center which I have and enjoy.

Marc,
Do a search under my name and AGLA. Utterly disastrous experience, with an incredible amount of frustration and money down the drain.
I'd rather wrap duct tape around my 993 wheel before allowing that horse's *** to touch anything of mine again.
Found it! This thread should dissuade
anyone
from doing business with these buffoons:

Andreas,
Thanks, I have gotten many warnings about AGLA. I will pass for sure!
About 10 years ago or so I bought a leather ebrake cover for my 86 from him but installed it myself, quality and color was good.
Removed before I purchased the car. Wasn't on the top of my priority list and he wanted extra for it so I passed as I still got the "standard" 3-spoke wheel with the car. Kinda wish I hadn't now that I think about it.

i personally think it looks whack to put a non-leather center for this wheel. the only way to do it is to get the leather center (stitched) matched to this thicker wheel whether the crest is silver or not
Seems like a TON of money for a slightly thicker wheel? I had a 930s wheel on my first 944, but thought it was too thick, took it off and sold it. I guess I like the thick parts of the stock wheel, and the thin, when I feel like grabbing less!
It's not just thicker which it actually isn't that thick since I've seen this wheel and touched it.
It's smaller in diameter as well. I find the stock wheel a little big.
So my CF wheel is a bargain $1350-1400 shipped to the States. Yay.

And I misspoke, apologies... the diameter is curiously the same (38), but I swear there is a smaller diameter version that's OEM that is also thicker?
Maybe it's smaller looking cuz it's now thicker.
look here...
http://www.fvd.us/us/en/Porsche-0/99...eather%29.html
for the price of the carnewal i would get this one. size, quality and appearance look great...
i'd like to love it... but it's just too thick and with too much shaping going on to fit the rather bland/conservative porsche interior. do u know what i'm saying? maybe in the bangle bmw interiors it could be done... heck not even in the new bimmers would it look at home.
just my visual taste....
Anyone have experience with them WheelSkin wraps like from Automotion? Quality? Do they just get wrapped over the existing steering wheel without removing the existing cover? And do they add any noticeable thickness?
Just a thought...
The wheelskin products are pretty good. I'm put them in other cars to "thicken" up a steering wheel. It just goes over the existing. Drawbacks are that is just never looks as good as factory wrap.
That is my wheel in the picture. It is superb. AGLA did a great job. Took 6 weeks.

Everyone who saw it at VIR loved it. So it goes. I use it every day and it puts a smile on my face. I had the Dallas shop do an Acura wheel for me and it was ok...for some reason they just missed what I wanted out of the project while the AGLA person understood my goals better.
Just me. Best of luck.
