Anyone consider this steering wheel ?

I drove a 355 fiorano with the same type of wheel and the feel is incredible -

makes me want a black interior

Sweeeeeeeet....If I did'nt have the alum/leather one, I would most definitely get it. Though, I wish the air bag was covered in suede also

And to match the wheel you can get the Alcantara shifter and handbrake. I assume that these come with the GT3RS. I know that is does come with the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale and the M3 CSL.

if u like the feel of the steering then go for it, but if it's for the look, don't get it!

i've seen a used 03 330i performance package car with the OEM suede steering wheel. car has 2500 miles only but the suede is arleady start to peel off. it didn't look too good to see that

I bet it wears easily also. I do like the look of it though and it prevents your hands from getting sweaty.

Thumbs down Yuk

That is one ugly wheel. The only upside I see to it is the fact that your hands wouldn't get burned after it set in the HOT Arizona sun.

From what I have heard, that RS wheel is the standard thickness wheel with Alacantara wrapped around it according to Steve in FL who posted his impressions on another board...While it's thicker than the standard wheel because of this, it probably is not as thick as the thicker steering wheel option...fyi
