I have a 97 2.8 and I have the 4 spoke wheel, it is a little worn and I was thinking about replacing it. I thought if i was going to replace it, I might as well got with the sexy 3 spoke sport wheel. Has anyone done this swap?... are the two wheels compatable on the hub that I have?

I'm pretty sure the OP is talking about the steering wheel.

And yeah, I think they're easily swappable...it might be a little trickier if you have a Tip and want the buttons to be functional.

 

people need to learn to read before posting...... and yes they should be similar

 

Thanks Turbo and Sineo

 

There are two different mounting style. Gosh, I can't get any of my facts to come to my mind tonight, but the 4-spokes can go on either a splined piece with a nut or just a nut, while the 3 spokes have to have the splines, so only sometimes will the 3 work on the 4. Gosh, I really feel dumb for not having anything to back up my statement tonight or have a definite reasoning behind it, but, no, they are not Always swappable.

 

If i get a 3 spoke wheel from a 97 a4 2.8 to replace my 4 spoke wheel on the same car, do you think that will fit, or at least give me the best chance of fitment i suppose?

 

it should be a direct swap, i did it on my 96. it will make the interior of your car look 100x better.

 

Thanks alot
