its not always about being unique, people buying rims and z tube or whatever could just be to have it the way they want theyre car whether someone else has it or not. I think everyone here knows its a good piece, but for someone looking for a wheel theyre are other options for a fraction of the price. I dont think it should have costed any less to have made, but it is unreasonable to expect someone to jump on something that will make such a little change in their car at that price. Its like if you wanted a custom rim made by volk, it would be stupid to think volk would charge you the same cost as the rest of their rims they have in stock to make just one set. but trying to get someone to buy those rims off you for close to what you spent would be tough.

listen plain and simple this is a one of a kind item, and even if you did want it you would have to wait almost 6 months to get it done.

I have to agree, the price for one off parts is very high, and many people can justify it. It also retains the airbag and steering controls, which don't work on an aftermarket wheel. $900 to have one of the only truely custom parts for a G is pretty good IMO

the only thing i dont like about this wheel is the type of leather that was used. I like the preforated(spelling) leather that is used on the 05+sport steering wheel.
