1) Aesthetics
2) Packaging
Sometimes Porsche forgot the first one...ssh don't mention the four spokes (seems to upset the aircooleds most)
Some 90's disasters
An 80's disaster
On the 996, Porsche (initially) charged to upgrade 4 to 3 spoke (sports) steering wheel.
On the 997, Porsche charge to upgrade from triangular (but bulky) to circular (but oddly un-sporty).
Some models of course get the upgrade in the model pack - some get FUR!

i think the triangular one is thinner than the round one (which is standard on the S). also i think the MFSW was only available in the triangular version.

You're right, as the round one is meant to be "sporty" (hence smaller diameter and chunkier rim).
In my previous reply, I meant it *looked* "un-sporty". In my eyes, smaller or otherwise, it looks like a steering wheel design off a child's "Little Tykes" "Cozy Coupe" car (especially with red leather boss/rim)... peep peep!
The triangular one is standard (but also required for MFSW buttons) and bulkier in the central boss (may not have been clear which bit was or wasn't bulky in my previous reply)
