I'm pretty sure it will, based on a number of people here have fitted wheels from a guy in the US who re-trims them with a bit fatter grip.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, I am looking to replace my 4 spoke for a 3 spoke steering wheel. I have found an oem 3 spoke steering wheel from the US, will this be a direct replacement for my Aus delivered 996? Or will it be incompatible? And what are your thoughts on a black steering wheel for space grey interior? Do you think the contrast will look odd or actually look nice? Thanks.

POST 2Original post

I believe the wheel itself is yangin, just make sure it includes the airbag - they usually don't, and it will be different.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok so if it includes the airbag then all good?

POST 4Original post

its so hard to get a wheel with the airbags, your best bet would be to find a boxster wheel and put that on.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have found one with airbag. Just need to ensure US wheel will fit without issue.

I'm old school, steering wheels should only be black... any other colour is just wrong ?

Great!  I'm pretty sure it will, based on a number of people here have fitted wheels from a guy in the US who re-trims them with a bit fatter grip. The black wheel on grey should work with having the black trim surrounding the gauges and the upper console.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Great, thanks for the confirmation.

would the explosive in the airbag make it difficult to import?

POST 11Original post

Quotes source post: 229409

Correct, it won't get through. I bought a Mercedes steering wheel a few years ago and they exploded the airbag prior to sending it (removed the skin and it was going into a non airbag car anyway). You're best off buying one from AU or at least the airbag from here. Also tiptronic and manual are different non interchange wheels.

POST 12Original post

They can buy blast proof boxes to export airbags in the US.

POST 13Original post

Quotes source post: 229627

I looked into that too but it was too cost prohibitive. As well as the headache of trying to basically import an explosive.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
