LED Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel with RPM Lights Anyone?
 

I was looking into buying these but has anyone ever wired these up on their car? How would you supply power to the steering LED.

That's certainly a lot of information. I'd just say be careful if it gets overwhelming.

Funny, you are the one that makes these and sale them on ebay.

I would like to see more info on this!! :tup:

I’ve seen these on a YouTube vid. Search for hoonigan 370Z and it’s 2 Z’s drifting at an abandoned mall. Cool concept IMO.

mmm.... looks high-tech and fancy, but I say it's not very practical, I wouldn't look at anything inside that tiny display when driving especially at 40mph+

No more practical than the red vertical rectangle on the nismo steering. Also shows revs of the car on the steering wheel. But I do think the number display is too small

is it just me or is the readout wrong? shows 3776 rpm but the needle is past the 4k mark :confused:

I was thinking the same thing... between the tach and the readout on the steering wheel, there's appx ~500RPM difference. Wheel looks nice though, reminds me of the BMW M-Performance steering wheels. I'd possibly be tempted depending on price and if the wheel's readout could be corrected...

This steering wheel is using a wifi obd to read the rpm, which it is not going to match the exact rpms..the price is $1.3k. I bought mine for my 911 from a different seller

I know a guy that sells these for 800or so, and the flat bottom carbon steering wheels for about 500.

I must be missing something... what is the point of having that tiny screen in the steering wheel to show the rpm when there is a huge dial in the exact same field of vision? There is a reason that the tach is the largest gauge, and is front and center. Is there some usefulness to this that I can't see, or is it more along the lines of "omgwtf LEDs in my steering wheel!!11!"
:confused:

Maybe so, but 500RPM is a lot to be off by. Not to mention, whenever I'm playing around with my RaceROM (I'm using the BT dongle to monitor on my tablet) the difference is barely noticeable.

I'm not knocking the product as it's something I could possibly see myself getting in the future, but I'd need more information. Who'd you purchase yours from and was it off by the same amount as well?

A tiny screen that provides inaccurate data = ricer

The LED lights.....it's cool if you have a really fast Z (FI'd, or if NA it better be on ultra short final drive ratio and max bolt-on).....otherwise it's pretty uncool having the LED lights climb up so slowly

Just say "NO". LMAO....

so this 1k steering wheel gives you a wrong reading on the rpm. I bet the shift-LED will light up wrongly too since the rpm is off by 500rpm.

So while you have a huge OEM tach WITH shift indicator sitting right in front of you, why would you spend 1k to get something that'll make you shift 500rpm too late thus having a chance of blowing up the engine?

But first of all, why would the manufacturer let this product to get onto the market cos I consider this "lag" as a faulty design and could lead to a lawsuit.

Maybe a chic that knows nothing about car will get amazed by all this blinking stuff and tell other people you manage to dress the wheel like a Christmas tree... :icon18:

Stupid. Not even accurate. Useless in a curve. Outrageously expensive.

Just get a HUD. You can find a good one on Amazon for <$100.

And toss gang signs up while blasting gucci gang:wtf2:

I will have you know that is atleast 3000 canadian peso.

This is a good point. Didn't even think about that.

But "OMG LEDs y0!" FTW

no RGB no care.
