Is there a core exchange? Will it work with a multifunction wheel?

This wheel needs core exchange
We will make a new wheel for customer first, core exchange means customer just need to send the OEM wheel back to us after receive our new wheel, we have a shop in Mountain View, you can stop by and check our quality.

Regards

Ivan

The wheel looks great!
How are you finding the molded grips and flat bottom?

I'm about to order one too but am wondering if I should get Ivan to go a bit thinner on the back side of the molded grips (see pic).
I'm wondering, are your fingers hitting the control arms (turn signals, ECU control, windshield wiper etc.) when turning the wheel or do you find there's enough clearance even with the thicker grip?

Appreciate any feed back.

Thanks!

Sid.

I am finding that there is enough clearance between the wheel and switches. I haven't hit switches once. I do really like the contour of the wheel as it adds better grip. After having the wheel for a while I think I would like the wheel just a tad less thick. Not so much on the side where it is thickest but just above that, but its not enough to complain about. Have got many compliments on the wheel already. Speaking of the most thick part of the wheel, that is my most comfortable hand position for me now due to the thickness and contour. Guess it depends on your hand size. My hands are pretty big. My wife tried the wheel and thought it was too thick. Either way you go I think you will be pleased if you get a DCT wheel. Good luck and post up some pics when you get it.
