Default RedlineGoods Steering wheel

OK...........
RedlineGoods made a steering wheel for me. It was built to my
specifications. The wheel turned out to be better than I expected.
It is easier to get in and out of my car with the new wheel. The
wheel has a great feel to it and feels lighter than the old stock
wheel. Because I am forced by law to have a air bag (on the street)
the legal steering wheel looks pretty good.
Now what else to do to my hot-rod??

That steer wheel is hideous! You should immediately take it out and send it to me for disposal.
Love your brakes and rims too

The leather I chose was perforated leather on the sides and
smooth leather top and bottom. The leather I chose was black
alcantara. The list price was $695. I worked a deal that was
a lot less.
Thanks for the compliment.
Later.

Redline usually has coupons on their sight.
I want one of these but with stereo controls, possibly from another GM vehicle.

Glad you posted this. It looks good.

Just keep in mind , that it takes 3 months to make these wheels.
They are made in Poland. Mine shipped via FedEx from Poland
and the box looked like it came thru Mars. Wheel was in great
shape the box, well...............It was packed well.
Good luck, which ever way you turn.

Nice looking wheel! Obviously a thicker wrap. Is it smaller? Any idea of the new diameter?

Nice wheel.

Does the roof scoop feed the flux capacitor?

Thank you for this! I am happy you like it :-)

This actually depends on our current work load and whether we have modified cores in the shop or have to send wheel to the fabricator for modifications which takes 3 weeks. As of now we have around 10 modified cores so the turnaround will be much faster

WOW, thank you for the heads up. I guess it's no use asking FedEx to be more careful so we're focusing on proper packaging even more.

Unfortunately we cannot discount flat bottom wheels as much as we do with other products due to them being very labor- and time-consuming But I can offer 10% off for a forum member while our current stock of modified wheels lasts Message me for details.

Like from a C6? We also have a few reshaped cores in the shop waiting to be wrapped. Just a friendly hint

Take care
