Greg, beautiful car, that wheel styling isn't my cup of tea... looks too "modern" for the vehicle for my tastes...

But, the install is damn clean! great work!

Great update to your 951 using original Porsche equipment. I like the Porsche Crest on the wheel. Just might have to find me one for my "S"

That is the same wheel I had on my Boxster. I really like it. It is more modern, but it looks very good. You have the best looking interior I've seen in a 944.

I'll definately agree to that being the best looking 944 interior EVER.

Thanks all, I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

I like how it looks but I LOVE how it feels, which is the real reason I did this. The rim is a bit thicker all the way around and it has 'wings' at 10 & 2 o'clock. I thought about going with a Momo but didn't want to give up the air bag, this way I get a much newer air bag and a nicer feel.

I'm working on a How To, more to come.

Maybe it's because I have an early interior, but I think that the late 944 interior wouldn't look out of place in a modern vehicle.

Default You've done it again...

Greg,

I saw that your sig photo had that wheel in another thread earlier today but thought that I must have missed seeing that wheel somehow. It goes right along with our discussion about 'stock' looking upgrades being more tasteful.

I have to agree with another poster who said that you have the best looking 944 interior ever.

I don't even own a 944 right now but I still can't wait to see your 'how-to'.

Rick
