I agree I think it matches as close to perfect as you can expect for a non factory part. I love mine.

thank you

I don't, because I haven't installed my wheel yet. Perhaps one of these other fine gentlemen who has them in their cars already would care to share an installed pic...

Thanks for the pic, Fap!

And for the who asked, I did compare the wheels for thickness and it IS thicker than stock. Didn't measure it but it's definitely noticeable upon holding one and then the other.

I'll probably be putting mine in in February.... car's currently in storage

Go for it. It's close enough for even the most discerning ISFphile.

I love mine. The feel of this wheel gives a whole different driving feel. Looks impressive as well and also is a perfect match.
