    Wait. The wheel looks kinda "generic" to me. It has no..., what..., "flair?" No extra something that makes it _worthy_ of your P-car.

    Maybe wait for other choices; ones better suited for your new Porsche and less appropriate for a mini van.


    Here's some ugly and some good comps, your's on top:

    Nice paddle solution; although, it's subjective if it will be needed. With that said, the wheel looks terrible! I've seen better wheels on a Chevy.

    It would be great if they can offer the paddle shift mechanism without havimg to change the whole steering wheel.

    Porshce have an optional extra price list the size of an encyclopedia, beats me why they dont just offer an option with proper paddle shifters!

    Re: I found my I hate the PDK buttons solution!

    Hummmmmm..., that _IS_ a Ruf wheel. Well, since they're not goofy I guess it would be better to see the wheel in person before judging it in pictures.

    The sad part about these refits? Where'd the Porsche badge go? As great as Ruf is, they should take a vote on how many guys would rather see P than R badge on wheel.

    Those paddles are puny, I prefer something more the size of Ferrari's F1 paddles.

    996 Wheel, sans tiptronic is still my favourite.
    360 F-car wheel was great too.

    Indeed, that was a very fast solution for the PDK!

    Re: I found my I hate the PDK buttons solution!

    Whose to say that the paddles will actually work (well) as a replacement for the buttons ? I could do the same for my 997TT tip, but I have never seen a real review of these steering wheels with the paddles. Are they wheel or column mounted ?

    "Thicker is always better" only works if you're manufacturing dildos...

    I wouldn't be able to drive that wheel, and I've got big hands... (and big feet... )

    And now is where I get banned from the site....

    I never realized that having big feet could get you banned from rennteam.

    I can't stand the thick wheels. I feel retarded (flame away ) or like I have an age-related handicap.

    Makes you wonder how Jaguar could have been so stuupid to go with the thin wheel.
