New Steering Wheel

[AlphaQueu]

So after seeing a ton of posts and building a few on some sites I'm finally ready to pull the plug and upgrade the stock steering wheel, just wanted to know what steering wheel you have/want and why did you get it or want it?

Thanks!

I have the GT350R wheel, which I really like, but isn't as thick as I'd like. It has great feel all the way around, except for being too thin at the top of the rim, where the stripe is. The steering wheel in my wife's 2017 Mercedes C300 Sport w/ AMG Package feels amazing - same D shape as the GT350/R wheel, but with a thicker rim, and thicker thumb holds. Mine needs to be re-wrapped, as the original owner wasn't careful with the Alcantara, so I'm going to get a custom wrap done with extra padding to make the rim thicker.

Couldn't be happier with my decision. I like the CF look and the thicker grip.

Awesome wheel for a great price thank you. Did you do the install yourself? If so how was it?

The one you linked has a flat top and bottom. The pics on their site on that link you provided has flat bottom but rounded top. Did you have to tell them anything to change the top?

how is the fit and finish? any complaints? I looked and that company also has listings for white stitching carbon fiber with alcantara or with leather. Red stitching won't work on my blue car, but I can live with white stitching. And these are ready to go and ship fast from Taiwan apparently. The custom made ones are 2x as much and take 6-8 weeks. If you tell me you're happy with yours I might just go with this one with white stitching.

I wanted a more substantial wheel - but I wanted leather. I scored a brand new Redline black leather wrap on the forums here, ordered extra padding and installed that on a stock wheel I found on Ebay cheap. No down time and cheap to boot.

Seller made it custom for another buyer. That buyer went another route so the seller offered it to me instead. I had ordered the round top and flat bottom, but I actually liked the flat top as well, so the seller offered that one to me I wanted it, as the seller already had it made, which shortened my wait time to receive the wheel. The seller will more than likely be able to chat with you if you want a custom looking wheel.

Thanks. Will send them a message.

Installed it with the help of my brother, really wasn't too bad. Here's the instructions I followed:

Finish is great! I decided on red (even though I also have a blue car), since I plan on adding some red accents where I can on the interior. The fit wasn't 100% lined up with everything but for the price, it can't be beat IMO. If you look closely, the bottom part of the middle trim piece isn't 100% aligned with the CF part of the wheel. It's really not noticeable unless you are looking for it but it may be something to keep in mind. Another part was the left side of the trim (above the cruise control buttons) that didn't align properly. Both these issues could have been due to my install but it wasn't a big issue for me so I left it as is.

As for shipping, the seller stated it'll be delivered 3-5 business days. That was not the case because it will possibly get held up in customs so I think I waited about 2 weeks.

All in all, I am happy to get in my car anytime I drive it because of the wheel. I was trying to look at similar wheels but they were nowhere close in price.

Thanks. I did notice the fitting issue on the left trim part after I posted. I agree that it can be down to installation or just poor finishing. Who knows. And I know what you mean about price. The two others that are more along the lines of what I want are going to run me $750-800, vs this at $400, 6-8 weeks vs. 2 weeks. Tough call.
