Penguin Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 A few of us have recently had custom steering wheels made so I thought I would start a thread for members to post pics of their finished wheels, to act as a gallery and possibly a source of inspiration to others. If you post a pic of your wheel could you please add some useful info too, as it may help others when requesting quotes and designing their own wheels, e.g; colours (codes if possible), materials, shapes, padding, special requests, etc. Heres mine, supplied by Custom Controls: Black alcantara top and bottom sections Black perforated leather side sections Grey alcantara centre marker at 12 O'clock 2mm additional padding Grey stitching to match OE wheel/trim When I ordered I made it clear that I wanted it to look as OE as possible so the alcantara and stitching would match the seats etc. I'm really pleased with the service from Custom Controls and the quality of the wheel.

ToRnado_R Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 My wallet hates you! Looking forward to seeing these. Maybe stick a link in the OP on how to remove/replace too? Many won't go for this as worried about DIY. Some examples : Or Cheers Sent from my fingers Penguin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt7R Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Here's mine. Aliexpress special, was about £21. Stitched by yours truly, only took a couple of hours or so. It's very easy to stitch, just fiddly to get the right angle.I went for alcantara all round with a yellow stitch and a yellow stripe, however on reflection I should have gone for perforated leather sides and alcantara top & bottom as I have concerns about hand oil on the alcantara.

Batch Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Control Customs here - slightly thicker, slate alcantara top and bottom, perforated leather sides and red stitching. I paid a deposit of £250, had my new wheel back and on the car seven days later, and a refund of the deposit issued the day they got my old wheel back. Net cost £182 delivered.

Cheers Penguin but it’s @Djs2394 Dan that gets a large slice of credit as we’re giving it out. 😁 Dan suggested it in the first place. 👍 I think a collective effort and it was a great idea and you getting up and running, it’s already a proving to be a great thread! 😊 It’s one of those threads where you look at one pic and think “ooh I like that!” Then see the next and think “oooh I like that too”.....and so on!

SloGold Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 As others have said, it’s definitely something on my shopping list! All of these look great, going to be a though decision when I get round to changing mine. 🤔 Perforated leather is a definite though, had that on an old car and really miss it.
