Anyone here with an SVE X550 Wheel?

[michail71]

I've been browsing around some of the wheel options and I like the looks of the SVE X550 Wheel. Is anyone here using it? At first I was thinking of a GT350 wheel but the SVE X550 wheel reminds me a bit of a Mercedes wheel.

I've been disappointed by how the stock wheel feels in hand.

Some paddle replacements or extensions might be good too. Considering how responsive the A10 is the OEM paddles feel toy like.

I read somewhere that the 18 wheels are different than 17 and lower. Airbag mounting holes ?

Thanks, I'll have to look into that.

I've seen mention of 2015-2017 fit and 2015-2018 to some of the offerings. I wasn't sure if it was old info or actual compatibility.

They can work, but you need the airbag module (at least you can retrofit the 18 onto an earlier car). That part is prohibitively expensive. I would wait a little bit, you can be sure updated wheels will come out soon as they were very popular.

I'll wait it out then. I don't want to mess with the airbag.

They're not available yet, but if your budget allows IMO beith has the nicest wheels out there. Soon a they become available that's where I'm dropping coin.

Wow, those do look nice! It's similar to the SVE but looks a little more flat and fat where it counts.

For that price replacement paddles would be nice. I haven't seen and direct replacement paddles, just the stick on types. It might be because of the built in lighting.

I'm not liking the factory wheel enough I'm contemplating one of those old style wheel covers, lol.

I've been running the SVE X550 steering wheel for a while. I like it a lot. It's definitely an upgrade from the stock wheel and the price was good. :cheers:
