Actually just picked that up last week. I prefer the .380 because I use it for pocket carry. It shoots phenomenally!

I bet so! I love my fathers Sig Tactical 1911 things dead on along with the flocks but they rip my hand apart and aren't too comfy.

And they are having a pretty killer sale on them right now as well so its a good time to jump on it.

The fact that it retains everything OEM about the wheel is a huge bonus for me.

Im planning to have it mounted tomorrow night, even though my interior is torn apart I will snag some pictures for everyone

Slight change of plans. The wheel will not be going on today. Just got down to the shop and our security torx set is MIA

Got it all taken care of today. And the only way to say it is that this wheel is pretty fantastic. Only one minor complaint that I can come up with at all. But for now we will just go through a bunch of pics. Overall I think the look and feel of this wheel are perfect. Perfect combination of OEM style, feel, and class; all while not being an obnoxious eye sore. Other than that, do not buy this wheel for weight reduction, it is definitely heavier than the OEM wheel.

New VS Old

Pulled off the trim parts, mine were heavily sun baked so I sanded them a little with 400 grit to smooth them out, then vinyl wrapped them black.

And as I said, the only complaint I could come up with. The plastic near the silver trim pieces does not sit completely flush with the perforated part. The other side of the wheel was fine, this side just has a small gap. Nothing that you can see while its on the car, just something I figured I would inform you guys of.

Can u advise how it changes the perceived road feel of driving w that wheel?
I have a very lightweight keys racing now.. But with my giant 295 r888 front r compound tires, as well as heavy positive scrub from the widebody fitment up front, and solid bushings.. ****I'm actually trying to tame down and weight up the steering feel a bit..*** Mine has WAY too much feedback.. Enough that a thin steering wheel actually can hurt your hand after awhile. Lol.. Thanks for any input you can give.

Sadly my car wont be driving until probably next weekend. Im in the middle of rerouting my air lines and entire stereo wiring. And I know you've done that before on your car so you know how much it sucks to remove and redo wiring.

But once I get it back down on the ground and running, I will absolutely chime back in

This is literally always what happens when I go back to browsing on this forum lol.

I'm glad people found this thread useful, I've always wanted a wheel that looked badass and wouldn't cost me half my face if I crashed. I figured more people felt the same way so I posted it up on here, glad I helped.
