This is what a true flat bottom/sport steering wheel looks like. The GT350 one is hardly either of those. It is by definition a "flat bottom", however compared to well done "flat bottom" wheel, it is not even close, if it is not thicker than stock.

Also, my reference of not being "flat bottom" was our STOCK non GT350 wheels.....

The Prova wheels are pretty badass, but you gotta pay to play... $750+.

Ok. Wheel still looks good to me. Glad I bought one.

Looks are one thing, feel is another.
I am a aware of that. I have had alcantara wheels in the past. People I trust have felt the stock GT350 wheel and they like it. Which means, I will like it.

I get it. You aren't happy with the wheel.

When I say "feel" I am not referring to the materials used. I mean how the wheel handles during spirited driving (not having larger 10-2 notches for, size of the wheel, thickness for example).

For sure I don't like our stock wheels (non GT350. I'm trying to gather information to hypothetically try to understand whether I will like the GT350 wheel. That is all. which is why I am asking for sizing information

Anyone else seeing that it's getting taken down and marked as Discontinued?

I had one dealer cancel my order on me this morning already, and FordParts.com won't let me select a dealer at all.

That or stopping it from being sold until after customers start taking delivery of their GT350s.

Now I am really glad I took the gamble...

But really, I am still finding lots of places that will let you order it. Just because autonation has stopped selling it does not mean other dealers wont.

And I can still add it to my cart and checkout on the actual ford parts site.
