My New DCTMS Steering Wheel
I got pictures of my new wheel this morning. It's being shipped to me as I post this. It was built to my specs.
I did not want Carbon Fiber on the top for a couple of reasons. I live in Arizona, and touching a hot wheel in the summer can be lethal. Also, when driving in a spirited fashion, I wanted the traction that leather provides. I don't wear driving gloves and didn't want my hands sliding all over the top of the wheel.
I wanted silver CF not black, to match the rest of the interior. The only black CF in my interior is my F-Sport shift ****, a rather small amount.
From the pics, the quality looks spot on and the wheel looks nice and thick.
When I get it, I'll measure the thickness of the stock wheel vs my new one and report the results back here, as well as installed picts.

looks good. Good idea for the top of the wheel being leather.

^^^^Actually, it's the Logo I pulled from my stock wheel.
I forgot to mention that the stitching is blue. Can't really see it in the picts, because they are black and white - not color.
