I like the wheel, but I think extra thick might take some getting used to. Also, it's funny with the new leather, I was worried that it didn't feel right, but William assured me that his X wheel had the same feel until it was broken in. So, all-in-all it's so far, so good. I'll have to see how I feel about the thick wheel. Some pics:

Close up of the tri-stitch - done really well.

Wow John, it looks amazing! Very nicely done. It is very thick but it looks good and I'm sure you'll get used to it.

Can't wait to meet up with you guys and check out the new mods.

Thanks Jon. Hope the timing works out.

I REALLY like mine. I hope you end up liking yours just as much!

John,

Just went through your project thread....very nicely done my friend!!!

Where did you get your wheel wrapped?

Coby I am assuming??

No, this was a leather re-wrap. I got an SMG wheel for the paddle shift mod, so I had it re-wrapped at dctms.com (turns out they send it to Taiwan). I sold my OEM steering wheel to Charlie. As far as I know, Coby only does alcantera. William, I'm getting used to it. Thanks for the compliments Charlie.

The new wheel looks great. The extra thick reminds me of the newer BMW wheels, and I love how they feel!

Thanks Ryan, Sean.

New tri-stitch shift boot and e-brake boot to go with tri-stitch wheel. New center c/f piece.
