Great. Now I'm going to have to try to convince my wife buying ANOTHER steering wheel isn't stupid (although it probably is....)

Had the same problem last year trying to convince her that 3rd project car in one year is exactly something we need (the other 2 projects are not finshed as you can imagine )

Sorry to put you through this

As I wrote a few posts back: I don't think we will be making flat bottom version of smaller diameter wheels as the diameter of smaller wheel is pretty much the same as the vertical diameter of current flat bottom wheels so it does not make much sense to flatbottom the smaller wheel - this may turn out to be to much and I'm afraid it may hurt your driving experience instead of upgrading it.

But if you're 100% SURE this is exactly something you want, we'll make it for you of course Just let me know

I have two Redline products, a custom shift boot and e-brake boot and they do great quality work. When this is installed, are any of the gauges obstructed from view? I was just looking at my wheel last night and was thinking that if I went with a smaller wheel, I might not be able to see the side gauges very well?

I sincerely hope you will soon know everything - the first prototype has already been delivered to the owner - I sincerely hope to see it installed in his car soon and hear his feedback

Hi

We're actually still working on fine tuning the C6 prototype - first drives showed that there are still some issues with airbag and plastic trims fitment. Everything works, including airbag mounts and connectors as well as all contriol buttons. After a few prototypes, we're now working with the fabricator on adjusting the mold so that fitment is perfect and everything sits flush. I whink we need a few weeks until we're ready to provide a 100% perfect product.

In the meantime - a few photos from first test drives:







Please remain patient guys, we really prefer to spend more time on R&D than provide you with sub-par product too fast.

I'll be posting results as they come for sure!

Take care

Curious on this as well.

I had my OEM steering wheel redone in alcantara wrap, and while super nice, I wouldn’t mind a smaller design due to being 6’4 and any gained space in the driver seat would be a benefit.

I’d be open to consider selling my OEM wheel for one of these, if the design turns out to be solid.

We're still working on the prototype as it need some adjustments before it can be successfully and comfortably used in the car.

Please give us a few weeks. We'll get back to you on this as soon as we have any progress
