The leather bound Corrado version of the GTI wheel is quite nice, and theirs nearly always one on ebay, they seem to go for around £30/40

Also love the later Corrado VR6 leather wheel, think it was also used in the G40.

Must admit I'm looking for a leather MK2 wheel at the moment though.

I have this one, its a italvolanti wheel and apparently uber rare. To be honest I have never ever seen a wheel that I would prefer over this one.

Just a heads up on the fitment, visually a 944 and 911 one look the same but they have different splines.  Good ones aren't cheap either.

Here's my Italvolanti offering.

It was fitted by the dealer as an option when the car was new. I have swapped it for a leather G60 wheel for a more OEM look for the time being while I decide whether to get it re-trimmed or not.

Its the same depth as the Audi wheel on its original boss (but I'm not sure how it compares to a std MK2 wheel).

The original Audi boss has a larger spline - so it doesn't my version of the Golf - again, not sure how it compares to the larger spline '90 spec. The OEM wheel can be removed from its OEM boss and the 6 bolts are in the same place as my Momo boss (win!).

^^^^^^^^^^

I have to say they are a lovely wheel to hold. I took mine off because it has 150k of wear on it. I think it might be time to put it back on though.
