I'm trying to find a 3 spoke steering wheel for my manual '99 996 with the airbag. So far everything as a combination is 800+. I'm able though to find much cheaper with triptronic. I don't care if it looks odd and of course the fact that it wont do anything, my question is does it fit? Is it the same?

 

Thanks

There are a bunch of them on Ebay   http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XPorsche+996+3+spoke+steering+wheel.TRS0&_nkw=Porsche+996+3+spoke+steering+wheel&_sacat=0  The airbags that are available now are a little pricey - I was able to get a wheel and airbag for around $500 a year ago. If they're not the right color you can get a Color Dye kit for about $75  ( www.leatherworld.com ) to match your interior. The regular kit will do at least 10 steering wheels/airbags. Good luck

Thanks dporto. That's where I'm looking too. The fact is that you can find them half of the price from UK, but they don't ship here. I use to buy a lot of parts from there.

Hmmm, I got half of mine from "specialized german" on Ebay (I don't remember off hand whether it was the wheel or the airbag - I got them from two different vendors). I think they're a dismantler, so they always have lots of parts - good luck.

Do you have any idea if the steering wheel from a 997 will fit the 996? As long as I search on forums I can't find a positive or negative answer to that.

997 steering wheels do not fit 996 cars. The center spline is larger in the 997, there is an adaptor that will make it fit (from a 90 Audi) , but the covers for the column and steering wheel do not come close to aligning.
