Aftermarket Steering Wheel

[OllyMidd]

Has anyone fitted specifically one of these aftermarket steering wheels? -->

If so, was the quality OK? Did it fit OK and did the original wheel buttons fit correctly?

Looking to hear any experiences with these!

TIA

I have the blue one. It fits perfectly. I'd say Royal Steering wheels are higher quality, but I got this so I could put the car back to standard if I ever wanted to.

It's easy to swap over the hardware between the two, the ford screws are like chocolate though so go gently.

OK Cool, do you have a link to the one you note?

I have one but I got it through dynaperformance. I didnt want to chance having any flaws/fit issues that I would be reminded of daily. Everything transferred fine.

I don’t see the little black airbag clips that you see here in my OE wheel. They came preinstalled in the new one. Since they hold your airbag on, I would double check because they would not be easy to remove while keeping their rigidity to hold the bag on.

Noted. I noticed that too and just assumed I’d need to remove the pins from the original to the new one but is that not possible?

At first glance I though not but it comes out, you just really have to pinch it together to slide out the bottom. By doing so, it might not be as tight a fit going on the new one. I’m sure you’ll be fine, just a heads up.

Regardless, you will not be disappointed with the look and feel.

If I could redo it, I would’ve had a plan to dip or wrap the aluminum bits of the wheel before putting it back on. They just don’t go well with the Carbon imo.

This is the one I got.

I moved the clips across and it was easy, you barely have to pinch them to do it, it's about technique rather than force.

I don't have a photo of it installed, will get one later if I remember.

Got my custom wheel via EPM https://store.exoticponymods.com/products/custom-made-carbon-fiber-racing-inspired-steering-wheel-1
Could be happier with the quality, delivery etc.

Those pins are not supposed to be removed. They are pushed inwards to remove the steering wheel.
