Thanks for posting this, I never thought twice about the wheel but....I read through it and now many $$$ later I have a custom wheel on the way from Elvin....
It's something like the below, same diameter as stock though. A combo of a piano black flat bottom, smooth Napa leather and black alcantara top. No CF since I wanted fairly stock look.
I'll post up some photos once it's done since I havent seen anyone with a 2016+ design on the forums here. The below are the 2012-2015 4GS design.
Oh how I like that non CF wheel. I may be following next to get one like that that matches the Expresso almost dark Black wood in my Lux car. Can't wait to see it. I hate that big stock wheel.
Here's how it came out, it's many shades of black. I have a few alcantara GS-F parts on the way to match. I'll get it in next week and provide an update.
Yeah, CF only goes well with F cars with matching CF interior pieces. It looks out of place in our 350 with aluminum interior pieces, unless u add fake CF covers.

Exactly, it needs to tie in. My trim is either piano black on the door controls and part of the center console and a piano black but with some grey lines elsewhere, so the wheel should match well. I am installing the GS-F black alcantara center console armrest and remote touch wrist rest as well as the alcantara instrument panel trim piece from the GS-F. The instrument panel trim has blue stitching so I'll need to figure out how to tie it all in.
Ok now we can go to, hand size, arm length, seat position, shoulder width, wrist and elbow extension, and so on, joint lateral limitations and more. The Wheel 4th Gen GS wheel dose not turn its self. There is a preference in most cars for Tilt and in/out positions. I like the GSF wheel. I have driven them many times. Its not like Winton Cup. You don't make U turns, left and right degree turns and turn in parking spaces in and out on a Oval track. They also don't have power steering do they?
Its not just opinion, its personal preference. No two MLB hitters really use the same exact Bat nowadays, even though a Bat is a Bat for the same purpose when they come to the plate. Golfers Clubs the same. Saving Razors, and the list goes on and on. I have no problem with anyone who likes the GS big wheel. I would prefer as I said, 1/2 - 3/4 smaller diameter. That decreased size requires slightly more effort but rewards with more feel. There is a reason Semi Trucks have such large wheels. Most have not driven other cars in the GS class to know that 99% of them also have a smaller diameter wheel that the GS has.
I would love to have this wheel in matching my interior Black with the Dark Linear Expresso Wood in my cars interior colors. No way I would pay close to $2k to have it made.
Why I said I like the Non CF Wheel! That's nice!!
Do you have the Linear Espresso, or the one that has the pinstripe stitching look. I have the Expresso in my Lux, it looks Black most times and I love it.

Mine is a black and gray. Not my car but found this photo online:
Taking from the title of this thread, I just remembered something. (thanks Flobots) I can drive my car with no steering wheel, no steering wheel, no steering wheel.
