I think if you check the Raid web site you'll see that the RUF and TechArt wheels are very similar if not the same.

I did a 'dry run' at home just to make sure before doing it over in Germany - but all okay, no fault lights, no drama.
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.

Porsceh don't do smaller steering wheels. I even asked at the Exclusive department at Werk 1.
I recommend you try Ruf, they do a smaller airbag wheel. I've tried it - I liked it.
Must get one for the next car...
I looked at the Techart s/wheel which is v nice[
], but then discovered that the Aitwe wheel is same as - they are sold through Raid Motorsport in Germany. This is a slight detour on the way to Nurburgring[8|].
I bought one and fitted it in the car park at the ring!!![
]
It is brill[8D]
Have a look at this link http://www.raid-rdi.com and piccy attached!
Yep, it was/is an air-bag steering wheel.
1. Turn-off the alarm with the key (avoid the volt drop sensor)
2. Disconnect the battery.
3. Go for a stroll and watch the cars for an hour or so.[8D]
4. Remove the 2 torx screws from the back of the steering wheel that hold airbag.
5. Lift out airbag - BIG deep breath - pull off the yellow plug off the back - exhale![
]
6.Centre steering wheel & remove 24mm nut and rock wheel to remove from splines.
7. Reassemble with new wheel reconnecting hole push button and airbag.
8. Grip new wheel with a big smile on your face - justifying the expenditure![
]
9. Re-connect battery and reset radio, clock and alarm.
10. Go for a quick spin around the track! Fully justified.[

Task took about 20 mins plus 60 mins wait - easy.
Cost - €500 in notes direct from the factory - Bargain
Is that enough info?

Great!
I'll order a Ruf one next time I'm going over - if it is that easy to fit, fantastic!
(I was a little worried about having an ounce of high explosive going off in my face...[X(] )
Got to admit Mark - so was i[&:]
I did a 'dry run' at home just to make sure before doing it over in Germany - but all okay, no fault lights, no drama.
I think if you check the Raid web site you'll see that the RUF and TechArt wheels are very similar if not the same. It's just the badge.

Hi folks, not sure if you can get it here from the OPC, but I've seen the thicker wheel option 'CPZ' available from a web site in Belgium. Its 2.4 mm thicker and is the standard 3 spoke size at 38 cm. Airbag modules fit too.
Aint cheap tho, weighing in at 795 euros [8|], mind you the TechArt is expensive too, albeit a little smaller in diameter.
Cheers,
You should be able to order a thicker rim steering wheel from OPCs. It doesn't show on the UK options list, but has been available in the US. I can't remember how much, but it'll make your eyes water, I'm sure[:-]. I've got one on my new GT3 because I've got big mitts (and I like the feel of it - oo,er[
]).
HTH,
Bruce
