I've just placed an order with Jack at Royal Steering wheels for an exchange wheel in leather but thicker as the 997 wheel is just too thin in my opinion.

He tells me the new wheel is only going to be 2mm thicker than standard as thats what he normally does with a 997 wheel.

However only 2mm sounds hardly noticeable to me. Has anyone on here had their wheel redone 2mm thicker, and if so did the 2mm make a noticeable difference to the look and feel?

Thanks in advance

Dave
 
I had mine done a few months ago and when jack told Me it was 2mm thicker I thought the same! But it does make a big difference and very pleased. Not expensive either imo 👍

I had a wheel covered by Jack for another car of mine, thinking it wasn't thick enough and wondering the same as you, would 2mm really make a difference?.

The result, a fantastic looking wheel, no complaints there, but after a month of using it it was actually too thick for me, i didn't feel i could get a nice grip around the wheel that was comfortable in all situations (and i don't have small hands). I went back to my standard wheel.

So i think you will be surprised how big a difference the 2mm will make, unless you've got yeti hands ;)
 
Had mine done by Jack two years ago and it still looks new! 2mm will make all the difference, it's what I had too.

Great value for the price :thumb:
