New steering wheel

I had this made by a company in Singapore. Came out really nice. Installed it Friday following the instructions here on 6speedonline. Took me about 30 minutes to install. The dealer wanted $320.00.
The wheel cost me about $1500. Much less than the comparable Techart. Plus, I was able to pick exactly what I wanted. Took about 3 weeks total.

^ If you buy just the used MF wheel, you'll still need to buy the control module, L/R button clusters and wiring harness. Thought I would mention it becasue it looks like all components were swapped onto the new wheel.

I have a standard sand beige wheel if you are interested (along with matching shifter and ebrake)

ZS- wheel looks great!

I have an MF wheel but would like to send one out to be wrapped in Alcantara and could put my controls etc. in the new wheel. Your wheel looks great! The standard wheel would not work for me as I have the airbag for the MF wheel.

^ The airbag for the standard wheel and the MF wheel are exactly the same. The only differences are an option for leather covered or vinyl.

I swapped my standard wheel for the MF wheel and just reused my airbag.

rkg, the company is www.robson-design.com. I did purchase a used multi-funct wheel and send it to them. Yes, the total, including the purchase of the used wheel was 1500.
