The stock steering wheels is the one and only thing I did not love about the F. Firstly, I do not find it sporty enough as it is too plain with just the F logo. Secondly, it feels too thin for my grip as I like it beefy. Compared to my wifes 2011 A5 steering wheel, the F's less substantial and plainer.

So, I decided to do something about it..

Please excuse the ****ty "too flash apparent pics" as I did not have enough lighting in my garage. And also, it is overcast and snowing outside as the the midwest is being hammered by a snow storm. I consider this as my winter mod..

the steering wheel looks good. i like the flat bottom- gives it a sportier touch for the driver. i've seen a silver CF one that matched nicely with the center console, however I do like the dark CF look better

 

That's gonna be my next mod

 

Wow! Great mod!

Where did you find this?

 

Sewell Lexus sells this steering wheel and they are also an official vendor on this site. Check out the vendor announcement on top when you are on the forum page.

 

how much? i really like it!

 

Looks nice. I love my carbon fiber wheel too!

 

That's pretty sweet looking! I must pace myself with my carbon fiber upgrades...

 

Are you planning on converting your silver interior to black interior. I really want to pick up one of these steering wheels but can't decide if I want to get a silver one or do black and switch the entire interior. I keep looking at a C63 AMG Black Edition Carbon interior and it makes me want to switch to a carbon interior.

 

lextuners.com had this specific wheel for $499 a couple months back. I can't believe I didn't ****** one; they're up to $679 now

 

Looks good. But agreed I would have match the cf to the interior.

 

You should get the F-Sport black carbon fiber shift ****. That will coordinate well with the wheel.

Is this wheel thicker/beefier than the stock wheel? Is it thicker just in the 10/2 position, or all around?

 

nice mod! always wished it had the F on the bottom like the original

 

Per Darrell at Sewell it's the same thickness as stock.The only difference is that it's flat at the bottom and has the carbon or wood accent at the top.

 

I will be replying to all your questions later tonight. But I have to reply to this one. It sure is beefier than stock meaning it is most substantial at 9 and 3 o'clock. The flat bottom also feels meatier than stock. I will measure the thickness against the stock one tonight to verify this.
