Much as I enjoy the design and materials on this custom wheel, it's still too pricey for my taste. Having used a Momo type 78 QR steering wheel in my Touring class Z33 for several years, I've seen how Alcanara leather wears. Not for everyday use...

Im on the list of pre-orders for this wheel. It should be shipping out tomorrow so I can update with better pictures and how it actually feels in person

Currently are made to order so definitely not in stock haha. As I said, I was on the pre-order list and have yet to get mine. So I doubt they're in stock

It is nice that one retains air bag, and radio controls, and also no adapter is used .

I think going by the example on the link provided that the suede pictured looks a bit cheap , and the texture of the pores looks way to big. Would be better if they used the type suede found on other wheels like Momo , Sparco , OMP . But that said , I think the leather option with CF is really the way to go and would be sick .

Craig did you go suede or leather ?

I have seen these wheels before on Ebay and Yahoo JP , maybe not the same, but look the the same .

I went leather, and all black options (so black line at the top center of the wheel, and black stitching). I wanted mine to come out as clean, simple, and subtle as possible. And I will be wrapping my wheel trim panels black to match

I am excited to see yours

The line on the top of the wheel is designed to better orient the driver in fast maneuvers during solo or track competition. If you make it black, you might as well just delete it completely. Fast wheel movements will make the black line almost invisible anyway...

I totally understand that function but for my purpose I don't need it to do that. If I wanted a race wheel I'd go get a much smaller Moro specifically designed for that. I'm just wanting a new, nicer wheel to replace my oem that has some leather starting to tear.

I've been considering one as well, they look beautiful and I won't have to worry about losing my teeth in a crash with one without and air bag.

Pretty indeed! Keep us posted Craig12895.

Just ordered mine, been looking for a new wheel that I can retain all my control and airbag.
Also ordered their weighted shift knob

craig12895 03-05-2017 05:51 PM

I should have this wheel in my hands within the next day or so.

Tracking info says it will arrive at my friends place tomorrow. We both did the preorder group buy so we had them shipping together

Take LOTS of pictures and write a review when you got it installed!

My buddy just sent me a picture that the wheels have shown up. As I said before, mine is the one without the stripe. More pictures to follow when I have the wheel in my hands
