Guys, just got some pictures from the German steering wheel place that has made my steering wheel. This is the same company that used to make our steering wheels for BMW and the ones that did Kumaran's alcantara wheel. I did regular leather top, perforated leather sides, and alcantara bottom. The top stitch is horizontal, and of course there is ///M stitching all around. I have to say I love it! hiha

that is lush,i bet your over the moon,how long from order to delivery and cost on what you had done.

 

[Tortuga]

I LOVE IT! I want one too...Contact info, price, terms (exchange or outright)?

 

[Rocketracer]

nice piece

It is one of the things to do on my car this year, going to opt for it to be done fully is smooth non grained leather

I'll be doing a very similar thing, but no alcantara.

I'm confused by that. If what you want is 100 euros, you get that back as deposit? So your only cost is shipping?

Plus I think they take your core... at least thats how the Dallas wheel place does it (where I will be taking mine)

It looks good but a bit too much for me. Ideally I would have one stitching pattern all the way around and at max two types of material... 3 is just... too much. It looks good though, glad you enjoy it

Even if they do take my core, what pays for labor and materials?

Diny I think this means...

100-140 euros depending on what fabric/design you want
PLUS 100 euros for deposit
You ship your old wheel to them, get 100 euros back. You have still paid to them 100-140 euros plus shipping
At least that is what I get out of it :cheers:

 

[Diny]

That makes more sense.

 

[russap5]

What blacky said is right.

Great deal. Netting out the deposit it will have cost me $223 + shipping back. Cheaper than a brand new OEM wheel made by the same people and custom made to order.

 

[jajo]

Very, Very nice.

I have a little idea if I do mine. You know how Ferrari and Lambo have a small strip at the top of the steering wheel to show the center? I'll do mine in the M colors.

Regardless, beautiful work, and can't wait to see pictures installed

 

[Blue Angel]

Whats their link to their website? Looks sweet!

 

[slimmbones]

so total cost is $250 to $300 not bad!!

That is good, considering that I got a quote of about $250 to re-dye the steering wheel to brand-new condition.

One thing I can say for sure, is that the quality of the workmanship of the company Russ is using and that I have used is :

SIMPLY AMAZING

A poor quality picture of my high quality wheel :

 

[Tiauguinho]

I'm in the process of arranging things to send my 2001 steering wheel to them to apply smooth leather (instead of grainy) with the M stiching. Will let you know how that goes
