Our New Steering Wheel Design
 
Just wanted to share. We've been doing tons of carbon fiber wheels lately, but finally got around to doing a fully reshaped wheel with added grips and flattened bottom section. Similar to our carbon wheels but this time it is full leather. All that's left for this one is to run a stitch through it all. Something like this we will be doing for $600 plus core exchange. Thanks for looking, and this is up for sale right now. PM for more info....:tup:

That Steering wheel looks super sexy. But $600? Wow!

600 and still no option to space the steering wheel closer to the driver, which is needed more than anything?

They're worth it. The craftsmanship is incredible.

Move your seat closer??

Seriously? C'mon, you should know that the reason for moving the steering wheel closer is for long legged drivers that don't want to be forced to scrunch their legs more.

I mean this is nice looking and all but for its frustrating that there's no help for us to retain the oem wheel functions while moving it back

i went with a QR, aftermarket wheel that was dished, and a spacer b/c that was the only option

These guys do tremendous work, and that price is also a great buy. Look around at other custom wheel shops etc and do some homework before looking foolish :) just my $.02

sweet wheel design

For a custom steering wheel that retains all your factory controls I believe this is a fair price. You want a cheap custom wheel? Prepare to lose your controls... I do however agree with OptionZero's statement of needing a spacer option. I'm 6'3" and in order to use the wheel effectively for aggressive driving I have lean the seat forward and duck my head. VERY uncomfortable and inconvenient.

At 6ft I have to agree, that was the only thing I had to get used to on the z was I could not get my wheel closer like I used to have on my old car (that had a spacer). I've gotten used to it but I think if I could have maybe 1-1.5 closer I would like it a lot. Would be nice if it could be done with a dished wheel so the column still looks stock, and would need some longer shift paddles for us 7at guys, although with my long fingers I could use a bit more clearance.
