I think we have our new paint scheme... yellow with a black stripe down the side.

I think we can get one of those "Stop" signs that flaps out from the side of the school buses for Billy to use as a point-by!!!

I'm not sure about a 996 Steering wheel but our 993 Steering wheel is 308 MM and it was fine for me but it would hit Helena's (Toycar 1) knees so we went with a smaller Momo wheel. The car is in the shop right now getting ready for the busy track season so I can't measure it for you but I would guess its at most 300 MM. I will measure it for you as soon as I can if that helps.

308 or 380? 308 is only 12". anyway, the 993 should be the same as my car; they both used the same 4-spoke wheel. does anyone know if the diameter is measured from to the centerline of the rim or to the outside edge of the rim? thanks.

Yes, 380MM sorry about that. I measured from the outside edge by the way.
