Aftermarket Steering wheels

[hinch]

Yeah I've pushed pretty hard - my fingers are sore!

make sure the little plastic tab clips are in the right holes where they should lock in on mine the leather was stopping the little barb from getting a grip on the lower case so i had to squish the leader out of the way and squeeze offensively hard (thought i was going to break the plastic hard) till it eventually clipped and bit.

I had that problem on my carbon fibre wheel, think I screwed it down then pushed it in

Anyone have a problem fitting the bottom bezel with one of Jack's wheels? I put mine on tonight and the bottom bezel just doesn't want to sit flush. I think it's because the leather on the bottom is too thick and isn't letting it sick all the way down.

I had to trim a small bit of leather off as it was stopping the plastic bits clipping together. It was only about a 5mm strip and was quite obvious that it was too long.

Had another look today. Trimmed a little leather, clips click into place but it's almost like the thicker part at the bottom is now too thick and won't let it sit down. Will have to have another go when I've got more time. Disappointing.

Hi.. 12baller12
Mine should be here sometime next week.... will see how mine goes and let you know.....have just been on 2400km road trip and the O.E steering wheel feel is not very good, fake leather plastic feel... but otherwise car is Magnificent to drive.

I'll get some photos later. Overall the wheel is a huge improvement, but this is going to bug me if I don't get it sorted.

Even if I push hard the black plastic bit gets lined up but there is still a gap on the leather section.

Looks very much like that's to do with the increased diameter (thickness) of the steering wheel... so doubt you'll be able to remedy that to be honest!
