What do you guys think??
Guy from New Jersey is making it.
I just like how it’s a lot meatier than stock and it’s carbon fiber.

This is what my car came with

I saw pictures of a wheel almost identical as what you are looking at, it was awesome

watcha going to do with the alcantara covered wheel? Have to do a core return? I just luved the feel of the soft fuzzy surface that had it in our GS...... The CF is going to look great!!

grandsp69 · Jan 22, 2019

Oh no. He had a bunch of cores in his shop so I don’t have to swap with him. I liked the alcantara feel as well but I fell in love with the cf wheel. I’m going to sell the alcantara wheel.

That looks awesome! Does the face plate replace the silver plate or does it go over it?

Thanks
It goes right over it. Held with 3M tape. It’s a tight fit and feels solid. No soft spots or wiggling around.

If you get one. Do some research on YouTube as there are cheap ones available that do not fit as well.

That unfinished wheel is actually what’s going on my car haha. I just wanted to match it more with my interior with red stitching and the red race stripe in the middle. I probably could have waited and used the money somewhere else but I got excited

It's a pretty cool steering wheel. I like your existing one as it can go with any carbon fibre enhanced interior. Aware of the purpose for the red stripe, not sure if I like it other for when tracking but it may only annoy me (if I let it) when just cruising around. Maybe because it's just more race car looking than a bedazzle of sort. A red tinted exposed carbon fibre band might appeal ... It is a real nice wheel with it having more exposed fibre showing.

grandsp69 · Jan 23, 2019

Thanks. The red is more to match my red interior I don’t mind it so I just asked him to add it. I’m thinking of having the horn cover wrapped in black alcantara with red stitching also.

It’s all done ready to ship

That is a very great looking wheel.

Really nice. if I didn't buy the flat bottom one 4 years ago, I'd definitely consider this one.

grandsp69 · Jan 24, 2019

Thank you! I have OCD when it comes to colour coordinating my car haha I had to get it.

You can but putting them in PMs is likely the better way to go.

Chef makes a nice carbon fibre wheel both top and bottom and more manageable for average size hands and at 2000 it seems to be a bit of a bargain and you can get different colour sticking I have a part number somewhere

think Northgate might be the cheapest around ask for xxx spencer has a name
