The previous owner fitted a cup steering wheel to my car just prior to me buying it. Is there any obvious way to know of its genuine without pulling it off the car as he didn't provide any info..

911 Crazy

Dunno but it looks nice.

It is an original 968 clubsport wheel. Not a 64 Cup wheel.

That is a very nice wheel indeed! Perfect size for a 964.

The embossed crest signifies that it is a real Porsche Sport wheel.

They don't get much better IMO. Clean it and oil it and enjoy. They go for about $600.00 in the States.

So the ones with the Porsche badge on in colour are not geniune Porsche items?

meek

Correct. The one pictured by the OP is the original item made by ATWIE for Porsche. Enamelled badge jobbies are not OE; not sure who makes those?

911PERVY

The same. Atwie. Either stuck on or far better when it was inlaid. The 930S of the 80's had a similar wheel with a gold badge inlaid

ive been keeping an eye on this one on the bay for a while. im pretty sure im not going to spend that on a mostly cosmetic interior upgrade, so someone buy it!

Also, stitching and seam locations are different on the aftermarket (Italian made) "930S" steering wheels than the factory OE ones. The OP pic is definitely an OE one.

Cups just came w/ the standard, late 80's vintage, non-airbag steering wheel, correct?

Yes standard 4 spoke with Porsche logo from 3.2, 944, 928 etc

Drivers fitted their own favorite wheel for racing.
