I believe they are whatever manufacturer Porsche used back in the day.
Leading evidence: 'Use back in the day' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

No need to deactivate the airbag with a Durametric, I used the resistor Included with my hub adapter from Carnewal.

What manufacturer did you use for your carbon fiber interior and would you recommend them?

Harnesses are designed to prevent this movement and use the Hans device to prevent neck/head injuries.

Race car drivers have 6 point harnesses, use helmets, and HANS devices to prevent Basal fractures which are the most common cause of loss of life in vehicular accidents I believe.

I am a big fan of seatbelts and have noticed that essentially all people who crash cars for a living, ie race car drivers, use seatbelts a lot and that hardly any have airbags in the cars they expect to crash.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Was at a NNJR PCA event this past Sunday and came across a car with this steering wheel.
Anyone know what kind it is and if it will fit on an '04 C4S? And anyone know where I can find one if it fits?
That steering wheel is made by Momo. They should have a steering wheel that fits your car. Note that you will lose the airbag and may to fiddle with some wiring to get the horn to work. I don't know what other electrical nannies may be lurking inside your steering wheel that require some modification.
Momo wheels are great. I had one on my 83 944, but of course that car was stone-age electrically compared to the 996.
It's the Momo Mod 07

If you don't want the yellow "rally mark" at the top. (I have no idea what that stripe is actually called.. if you do, please let me know!) Then the Momo Prototipo is another popular choice for Porsche.

If you want the Porsche horn button, you need to buy that separately.

And per the above, it will fit, you will just need to buy the appropriate adapter for your car. Momo should be able to help you out with that. You'll need to deactivate your airbag light for your steering wheel with a Durametric or similar tool.
P.S. Sorry my links are from all over the place, I figure you can buy it all from one store but I just found these links with some quick googling.
Thre is a guy from Britain on youtube his page is called TheThrottleCable, he has a good tutorial on adapting this type of wheel to your 996 along with lots of other mods he has done, very much worth a look.
It doesn't me as I have harnesses in the car so airbags weren't going to do much anyway. The wheel is further from the turn signal and it does not self cancel just FYI.
I have a MOMO Prototipo.
Answers to the most common questions I’ve received:
I‘ve driven lots of cars without airbags.
I trust my seat belts and don’t trust a 19 year old airbag.
My horn, turn signals work as expected. ( including self cancelling turn signals)
I can see my gauges just fine.
My airbag light has never come on.
My car passed the Texas Safety Inspection with it installed.
No I’m not selling the old Metropol Blue 3-Spoke wheel, but I do have an old Black 4-spoke wheel I’d be willing to part with.
No need to deactivate the airbag with a Durametric, I used the resistor Included with my hub adapter from Carnewal.
MOMO was purchased elsewhere.

I think it took a week to receive it.
THIS. I have an aversion to things that blow up and that includes explosions to the head region. I am a big fan of seatbelts and have noticed that essentially all people who crash cars for a living, ie race car drivers, use seatbelts a lot and that hardly any have airbags in the cars they expect to crash. For people who exercise their rights to be free to choose not to wear a seatbelt things are different and, unlike dinosaurs, there are a lot of those folks around, (see the daily news). For those people I do not think a Momo is a good idea.
I'm not recommending anything here, just a casual observation.
Proceed at your own risk.
Oh, and wear a seat belt...
85EuroCarrera,
Got the same graphite grey interior and like the momo & carbon look. What manufacturer did you use for your carbon fiber interior and would you recommend them?
I believe they are whatever manufacturer Porsche used back in the day. I don�t know.
most parts I like a lot, others like steering wheel and trim on dash up by windshield, not so much.
Racecar drivers are wearing harnesses, not seatbelts. They are also wearing helmets.Seatbelts have give, both because of how they are worn and intentionally by design. This is why before there were airbags companies that cared were still padding the steering wheel.
Race car drivers have 6 point harnesses, use helmets, and HANS devices to prevent Basal fractures which are the most common cause of loss of life in vehicular accidents I believe. In your hopped up street car, you have none of those items. This is strictly an uneducated and dangerous opinion and it should be called out as such.
As called out above, 3 point seatbelts are designed to allow for deceleration forces to be reduced by allowing torso movement INTO an airbag. Harnesses are designed to prevent this movement and use the Hans device to prevent neck/head injuries.
Guess what happens without the airbag while using a 3 point seatbelt?
Someone beat me to it. These systems are engineered to work together. An earlier post justified removing the air bag because they had a harness. A harness without a Head And Neck Support (HANS) device is not going to be as safe as a 3 point seatbelt with an air bag. If your body is strapped in with a harness without a hans device, and you go from 60mph to 0mph, there is nothing to support your head/neck in this type of accident.
I don't think anyone should be condemned for running this set up, but we should at least understand the risks associated with modifying safety equipment.
Agreed as well but it means that we should understand it comes with additional safety risks when we do so. Also, those cars that predate airbags typically have around 150hp which helps to negate some of the threats of high speed deceleration hehe.
Removing airbags from a car with 300+ hp should be taken seriously regardless of the final decision made in the sake of style.
Concur about removing safety equipment. This should be done with the realization that the end result will probably not be as safe as it was designed to be.
Oh, by the way my car that predates airbags has 270HP and weights 2600 pounds.
