STEERING WHEELS. Post your modded steering wheels.
I’m looking for an alcantara wheel option that retains all of the features as the oem wheel. What’s out there? Let’s see what you guys are running.

Same here. Been looking with no luck. AZA wheels is the only company I know of that builds them and retains all features including DAP and Heating.

That’s what I have heard as well. I’m glad you actually spoke to them and got good feedback. Makes me feel comfortable with biting the bullet with them and going for it soon. Did they give you a price by any chance? I’m figuring it’ll be close to $2500-$3000 but hoping for something a bit cheaper lol. One can hope. Let’s ask them if we all buy the same one us 3 or even a few more if they would do a discount group buy since it’s all at the same time maybe they’ll go for it lol. Doesn’t hurt to ask! |

The only reason I didn’t proceed was that I was intending to find an installer who would do that and shift paddles at the same time and got busy. I know steering wheels and paddles are really easy for most of you guys, but he did mention using a good installer or the dealership since these are of the most complicated wheels he’s worked on. PMing you now RE: quoted price.

Just a side note for installing the steering wheel and paddle shifters feel free to pm me your number and I can literally show You have to do it over FaceTime or zoom in 15-20 minutes. It’s simple after you do it once. (If you just don’t like doing stuff like that that’s understandable but I wouldn’t feel right not offering and letting you pay a shop 200-300$ for something that could take you 30 min lol) Thanks again for the price quote Let me know if you decide to buy. I think I actually want the same exact one you are referencing that we both commented on the thread for. We can try to get a small discount ordering together. Never hurts to ask. -James |

I will definitely want to proceed soon also. You lit the fire under me again to tackle this! If we we want identical ones (and it sounds like we do) then we should definitely ask. A large catalogue of their work is on their website. Take a look and see if anything else pops out at you!

Absolutely! And to you as well! I’ll take a look and we’ll touch base through PM’s. fan51 let us know if you want something similar before we actually end up ordering. |

My friend owns Carbontastic. He is currently making me a full custom wheel. I went the perforated leather route, but he can do whatever materials and finishes you like. I am not having any carbon on mine, but that is always an open. Send me a PM if you want me to connect you for a discount. Thanks!

DarkishM5C did you get one on Etsy? Thanks in advance guys. After spending a ridiculous amount of money on the IND-Distribution’s (almost) OE heritage roundel floating center caps, I think I have to get the steering wheel to match. I wish someone would attempt to do something closer to OE (cough, cough, IND). Sorry fan51, no threadjacking intended!

ResIpsaLoquitur yes, I ordered a couple of steering badges from Bimmerkings on Etsy and I should have them next week. I am trying to determine if the BMW heritage badge or the BMW carbon fiber badge will look better with the carbon fiber steering wheel trim.

When I was new to this forum, I reached out once to ask for something and after deciding I didn’t want to proceed because I didn’t like the quality, he continuously messaged me trying to get me to change my mind. I’d never order anything for the mere fact that I can’t stand his posts.
