Yes sir.

Prices will increase slightly since the group buy had ended. Still settling on the final figures, but it won’t be more than $50 at the moment. We have a few carbon and all leather wheels in stock. Just let me know what configuration you want and we can have it built, ship if in stock, or see if one is already inbound :cheers:

Terrance, is all still on track for an end of month shipment for the last group of wheels? Thanks

I just wanted to say a few words about the steering wheel now that it is more than just an interior decoration - aka I actually had the chance to drive the car again

The verdict is quite positive. I like it quite a bit. The best part is the fact that it is not alcantara (yes I love the looks of alcantara wheels but they are pain to keep clean long term and they are too soft). Why not alcantara - the best part of this one is the all leather part and being harder to touch (being a bit thicker also helps) - I can feel what the car is doing better. I know it sounds weird but before I had to grasp the alcantara wheel tighter and that does not fix the issue because a tighter grip is not precise . In any case I might smooth out a little some of the flame surfacing (no pun intended) around the grip area - short of that awesome

Better than hearing it’s the 1st day of Spring!

I don’t know if I am the first to try it, but I can confirm that this wheel DOES NOT fit as a replacement on the 2018. My ordered 2018 arrived yesterday and I traded in my 2015... tried to swap the wheel last night... everything worked fine up until I went to snap the air bag on after bolting the new wheel in place... the air bag alignment holes on the new wheels are in different locations than on the old wheels and there is no way I see to make it work. It’s possible that you could swap the air bag with one from a 2015 I guess, but better check the 3 electrical connectors first because they seemed slightly diffferent than I remembered in terms of size than I remembered.

50 DEEP... can I get a discount on a redo to put my leather on a 2018 wheel?

If not... anybody want to buy a barely used all leather w/ no color stripe w/ red stitching? I love the wheel and breaks my heart I can’t use it!

is your 2018 a GT350 or GT350R ??

Finally got my steering wheel installed today. I was one of the lucky 11 that ordered grey to begin with and had the delay. Fortunate or not, that worked out to my benefit because I was able to change it to a red stitched/CF wheel because I was finally able to close a deal on an R. I can tell you all that through the whole process Terrance was great to deal with on this. Since this group buy happened when my other 350 was stored the delay wasn't a big deal to me. What I received was a high quality, well priced, and fantastic product. I had spoken with Terrance a few times during this as well as after and he has always been helpful. I can also tell you all that the wait is worth it. Thanks for all the help T and getting me the final product. It compliments the car perfectly!

Let me see what I can do brother. Can you give me a call tomorrow to find out what exactly needs to happen in order for it to fit, or if it will not work all together. Have you considered finding a local buddy with a 15-17 to see if you can try their air bag?

I don’t have a buddy around here with a 2015-2017... wonder how much one would be at a junkyard...

Here’s pics of the 2018air bag, along with a pic of the 2018 wheel... you can see the alignment holes are different than the 2015-17 wheel, which is the second to last pic. Also, the retainer clips are a different shape, as is the slot it fits into on the wheel. On the last one, I circled in yellow the holes for the 2018 airbag which are different.
