Steering wheel

[Kubus]

Have you guys seen these?

If my car had carbon anywhere I would probably go for it but there is no carbon on it...

Sort of steep price but its the best wheel I've seen so far.

PPI one looks better imo Think I'll have to get it



May be the same as Harrisons?

Yes this is my same wheel. See the round, silver PPI logo at bottom?

How much does the PPI cost?

[ianerrid]

it's £1400 exchange in the UK. IMHO it's the best c/f wheel out there, if you look closely you can see the wheel has been reshaped and the transition from the reshaped parts to the c/f is perfect - all the others I have seen have genereally been just re-covered and to my eyes don't look right?

That is a real work of art. Any idea on installation cost?

Steering wheel very easy to do yourself, I'm useless and I easily changed the stock one on my RS4 to a Euro flat bottom wheel. Here are some cheaper options

I might get the first one, I like the thicker feel

Thanks for noticing our wheels. They have proven very popular for us as the stock R8 wheel is a bit boring. We do them to your specification. You can pick alcantara, leather or carbon. We do the 12 o'clock ring in your choice of colors as well. Next, you pick your stitching color and pattern.

A new feature that we've been doing is the hub in alcantara. This gets rid of the rubber hub currently on the car.

The prices of our wheels vary with the features you pick. When you do an apples to apples comparison of features, we are pretty close to what PPI is selling. With us you'll get something much more exclusive and personalized.

And much more important, customers have really liked the feel as well. When we do the alcantara version, its add just a bit more thickness to the wheel without making it too thick.
