Steering wheel recommendations

[GTP]

1. I d say it not as smooth maybe due to the perforated leather, plus the stitching on the inside.
2. Quality and fit and finish looks very good. For me, probably outlast the car.
3. Heated function was HOT right away when turned ON.

Find out the return policy in case you get it and it s not what you wanted maybe.

OEM wheel a bit too hot for me now but I rarely use that.
Thanks. You're helping me to make a purchase decision.

when I (seldom) use it I turn it off after a few minutes anyway.

Got the wheel first and then had to do the seats

Like everyone else is saying, Tim Beith is Burger King - You can have it your way (all smooth leather in my case).

About how long did you wait for a response from Beith?

It was a few years ago, but he responded the next day to an email.

Here it is. I bought the black leather heated. I added the vinyl white center stripe.

welp i just made an impulse purchase! Ive been wanting an affordable all black leather with heated steering wheel and that will do it!!! Now just need to work on blacking out the air bag and trim.

question? does anybody think the leather air bag replacements will somehow make the air bag not work properly or be more dangerous? always been concerned that it was designed to go through the plast piece not plastic piece plus leather.

I would not mess with the airbag IMO.

@BrakeFade & @cerbomark -
Obviously the Amazon wheel is thicker than OEM, which I like. Will you compare the OEM and Amazon wheels at thumb position just above the 9:00 / 3:00 spokes for me? That is the thinnest area of the Amazon wheel. IOW, is it also a little thicker there than the OEM wheel, too?

Maybe hold up the OEM next to the Amazon wheel and snap a pic for me?

You plan on swapping out the airbag cover? I’ve seen custom covers on Etsy. But replacing the cover looks to be a PITA from what I’ve seen on YouTube.

OMG you have Twister Orange with a stripe too, but weirdly your steering is on the wrong side. LOL

I bought one from Tim as well, all leather, orange stitching, red top stripe. The wheel and all associated trim fitted perfectly.

Looks good. I am actually waiting on them to reply about a specific addition I want. Did you have them black-out the "aluminum" finished switch bezels?

No, sir. I hit them with scotch brite, plastic adhesion promoter & rattle can satin black. I’m not a fan of the faux chrome

Been eyeballing the air bag covers that most sites offer along with steering wheels. Just want plain all black leather but been concerned about safety in bursting through material it wasn't designed for but many people seem to purchase

How about just plasti dip the horse and ring black or buy a matte black vinyl overlay?
