I ordered a Vorsteiner wheel... I have a multifunction wheel with the triangle shaped airbag and they're making me a 1-off piece. They have tons of options such as carbon, alcantara, perforated leather and stitching changes. I ordered mine smooth leather top and bottom, perforated leather at the 3 and 9 postions with white stitching. I also added MA Carbon carbon fiber multi-function buttons and v-piece to really match my interior. The only problem....waiting FOREVER for it. I'll post pics when it finally arrives. From what I've seen though, the quality is right there with the best of 'em. -Showking

Great! But not very encouraging to know you've been waiting so long. When did you order it?

Thanks! I'm on the verge of getting a new steering wheel and would really like to see the Vorsteiner product (not the 'catalog' pics) before I pull the trigger.

Ugh. That sucks. Sorry you're having such trouble. Did they already charge your card?

I ordered the wheel the first week of December.. I ordered it through Vivid (who are on top of the situation as always).. so yes, I was charged for it... That doesn't really bother me at all. They did their job by placing the order for me, and we do a LOT of business with each other so we're cool. Vorsteiner have been really nice on the phone with me when I call, but 6-8 weeks has so far turned into 13.. Not cool.

The "2 more weeks" definitely not right but is a common term used in most industries when they really have no answer.

The Vorsteiner looks good for sure, here is my TechArt that is very comfortable to grip

I like the Techart also... But I thought the Vorsteiner would be nice with the deviated stitching and flat bottom. And I'm sure it will be.....eventually. lol
