Love it, feels just right to me. A lot thicker and sportier feeling. The leather feels nicer too, sort of soft finish.

Check my build thread, I have one that almost shows that. The STI knob is probably 5-10mm taller and a good bit heavier.

Thanks for the review. Seeing the steering wheels next to each other really shows how much beefier the cusco unit is. Now I'm really torn if I should get this one or the JPM rewrapped wheel.

Yeah it really is and you can feel it so much. The OEM one is a nice wheel but every now and again I get in a Porsche or Audi and when I saw the Cusco unit, I knew I wanted it.

Anyone know if the Prova steering wheel is as thick as this one? I want the Alcantara but also a beefy wheel.

I don't have the link handy but Rally Sport Direct did a DIY on here with the Prova steering wheel. They had some side by sides shots of it compared to the OEM. You might be able to line the few pictures up and gauge it. Cusco also makes an alcantara wheel FWIW.

The two steering wheels are practically identical, and for that matter, very well may be exactly identical.

I want a NARDI wood wheel, is that ok.......

I thought the Cusco was suede?

Actually, I think you're correct. Sorry about that.

That STI knob looks like a downgrade imo
