Default New steering wheel.

I got my steering wheel today and it looks pretty good. The quality is very good, but there are two small issues. There is small defect in the Carbon on the bottom of the wheel and the center-line is slightly off. I guess that I can deal with it for $500. It is a huge improvement over the stock wheel.

Looks good! Of the wheels I've seen on here lately, I would request to omit the center line...looks out of place/distracting to me.

I'll take it off your hands for $300

When I ordered it, I originally requested the center line and I changed my mind a few days later. I told them to not use the center line and of course they made it with the center line anyway.

You think they'd give you a discount for the off-center center-line that you omitted.

That's a good looking wheel. Especially for the price. I paid more than double that amount for one that's very similar in style.

I asked for a black center stripe, to make it less pronounced, but still usable. They can be pretty handy at times.

I decided to measure the center line and it is barely off, about 1/16". It looked off more than that before installing it, but it isn't really noticeable after installed.

Guys who have done this, how hard was it to swap the controls and air bag cover over? A new wheel should show up at my place any day now so I want to see how big of a job I'm getting myself into.

That part very easy. Hardest part for me was the clips to release the cover. I’m a very inexperienced wrencher and didn’t have a problem and wheel worked perfect.
