Long shot I would think but does anyone have MINT steering wheel trim for the ZHP wheel? If so, HOLLA!

Thats pretty amazing when you can get a whole new M3 wheel for around 500ish. Or do you mean theyre over 100 dollars new?

Nope. Around $120 iirc. This is the bottom only though.

Yes, exactly as I said. North of three figures. lol

I remember seeing prices for them and going "EFFFFFFFF THAT!"
Luckily my new steering wheel came with new trim, so that made it easier!

I wonder how hard it would be to get someone to make Cube trim wraps for us..

My upper piece was in really good condition so I only needed the bottom. That is the one that gets nicked anyway.

You can also strip the rubber coating and paint it with sem paint.

my trim on the wheel currently in my car is mint, so ill swap that over when the coby wheel goes in but the wheel he sent me/i purchased came with trim that was damaged in a few small areas/filled in with sharpie marker. would prefer to have two mint sets on two mint steering wheels.

Doesn't look as good though... but it is an option.
If it's not going to look OE, I'd go with the DiNoc wrap myself if in this situation.

I did it before and it was right on par. Just tedious
