Prototype: Custom GT350R Steering Wheel - Feedback?

[Beith Performance Parts]

Can we team that group buy up with the UK? I'd happily join up with that and do something with the UK lot, this things gorgeous. :lol:

Regarding supplying to the UK, easily done. I ship to the UK regularly. I am originally from Lancashire

when you received the GT350 steering wheel, do you remove the alcantara cover and then retrofit you leather covering ?

 

[morjo02]

another question, do you have any videos to remove the steering wheel and re-installation ?

Wheels are stripped down and reworked to our improved shape and re-trimmed in the leather.

If you do a search on YouTube for 2015 Mustang GT350 steering wheel install, there is a great how-to video by CJ Pony Parts that shows the install process. Its really not very difficult and should take the average person 30-40 mins to swap the wheel over

I just installed your wheel today!

CJ Pony Parts video is the way to go - but if you don't have any inspection picks, a 3mm allen key will fit perfectly into the holes to pop off the airbag. Just don't forget to disconnect the battery, and if you don't own a torque wrench just get a loaner from O'Reilly or AutoZone. They typically have one with a 1/2" drive, and you'll want to torque your steering wheel bolt to approx. 35 ft-lbs. Took about 30 minutes ish maybe.

As for the wheel itself -- it feels pretty solid so far, and looks fantastic. I really like the size of the bolsters. The leather feels amazing, especially the perforated leather on the sides. I'll admit I was iffy on the purchase because I couldn't be 100% sure about the leather and stitching quality without seeing it in person, but after inspecting the wheel when it arrived you can color me impressed. I get to do a moderate amount of spirited driving every day on my commute, so we'll see how it fares day-to-day.

Went with red stitching and black leather, and I have a feeling I ended up purchasing the exact wheel in the pictures in the OP :lol: I wanted to match the red stitching on my seats/shifter (idk if this is a GT/CS thing or if other trims have it), so it took about 10 seconds to make the decision once I saw your pictures.

I'm glad I found this leather wheel; it is exactly what I've been looking for. I passed up the carbon fiber one that's been going around because I'm morally opposed to cosmetic CF due to my old job and also said no thank you to trying to keep alacantara clean.

Thanks Tim, for being a super quick and responsive vendor!

I had my GT350 wheel recovered in leather with thicker padding, thicker thumb bumps, contrast stitching and perf/smooth combo (custom colors also available) for $375 by Donald @ dallascustomsteeringwheel.com so you do have options.

You will pay in the region of $400 for a decent re-trim service.

I offer a core exchange on the GT350 or OEM GT wheel to help bring the cost down.

Thanks for the interest! :cheers:

Absolutely. $450 if you supply a GT350 wheel, $575 if you supply an OEM GT wheel, or $650 if you don't want any core exchange.

Looks awesome. Too bad it's priced so high; otherwise I'd be on it in a heartbeat.

Custom, low production stuff is always going to be expensive. It's a fair price, IMO, compared to other options out. The cheapest? No, but fair.
