Is that steering wheel out of round.
Like when you spin lock to lock does the outside edge stay true, or naa?
Yeah i believe so, idk if i'm misunderstanding the question. What do you mean by true?

True...
meaning the outside edge of the wheel stays true with the center point of the wheel.
Most factory wheels do not.
Reasons for this, leg room and line of sight to the gauges.

Check it out. did a quick video search.

This wheel does not run true. Start at 2:45

Don't apologize, i'm interested in learning new things. I do believe it is "true" compared to the stock wheel

New update on a couple things-
Got new sidemarkers (my left one fell off on my way to h2oi) + Amber Bulbs
Got a rexspeed carbon fiber e-brake handle (thanks to my girlfriend)
And finally switched out the ugly tail lights with some red tom's

Interior shots -


Yes, i do have a hoodratstuff sticker. I think it looks good, no hate needed.

Before and after for toms -
