**My New Custom Steering Wheel** (Carbon Fiber/Alcantra)

Sup guys!

I finally got to a chance to install my new custom steering wheel. Sorry it took me so long to put these in my car. I know that some of you guys were waiting a long time for me to install these.

Anyway, I want to thank the guys at Dallas Custom Wheel for the awesome work. I had them add extra padding for more thickness around the wheel. Then had the wheel re-wrapped in perforated leather upper and bottom, and added some alcantra sides for the euro look. Everything was finished off in red diamond pattern stitching. All in all, everything came out just the way I wanted it. The matte CF bezel was done by Tony at Carbon Fiber Element (vendor on myg37).

I absolutely love the way the new wheel feels in my hands. They feel so much beefier than the stock wheel. Plus the extra padding feels so much more nicer in my hands.

Anyway, enough with the jibberish and on to the pics!

Comments are always welcome btw.

Thanks for viewing!

Yep. Under everything is the plain ol OEM wheel. Just had it re-wrapped with alcantra and new leather, then added the CF bezel.
