Suede/Alcantra Steering Wheels?
 
Hola mina-san.

I was wondering if anyone knew any vendors that have OEM replacement steering wheels. The Cusco/Prova wheels look absolutely sick but they're priced pretty high =(.

Are there any other options out there for direct replacement? And are there any vendors on here that sell steering wheels at a discounted price? TYTY for any help.

edit: I know JPM also offers a custom made one for around $500.

all those vendors you've mentioned above is about it.

may want to call upholstery shops around your area.

They wrap, yep. or you can buy one and send the factory one back in for a refund of some of the price.

I have one on order from JPM. They have many options that you can do on your wheel. I highly recommend them.

@SkAsphalt Thank you! And for the sake of clarification, we refund the entire deposit for the core.

@Touge86 They are fully customizable by material type, color, and placement (sides and top/bottom) as well as thread. They are also customizable based on padding (factory, or 1/8" added thickness) and the addition of a center indicator. The wrapped steering wheels start at $495.00. We offer a core-swap where we bill a deposit upfront for the price of a brand new steering ($350.00) and build the wheel with one of our cores. We then send the completed wheel and ask that the core be put back in the mail in 2 weeks. Once we receive a usable core in excellent condition, we refund the full deposit of $350.00.
Alternatively, you can send in the steering wheel from your own vehicle and not take advantage of the core-swap.
Typical lead time is currently 4-6 weeks.

Cheers
Andrew

I always wondered about this, on your website it says, "Refunds for core-deposits will be provided if your factory core is returned to our workshop within 2 weeks of receiving your custom wheel. Please note, only undamaged and useable leather-covered cores will be accepted for the core-swap.". I just have a simple Canadian market Scion FR-S. is that wheel leather? if it is, it feels like ass, but anyway. does it count for a core swap? It is mint.

@SkAsphalt Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with what the differences between US market and Canadian market are, if any. I assume it looks the same as every other BRZ/FR-S wheel I have seen to this point: http://stwot.motortrend.com/files/20...l-1024x640.jpg
If your wheel has the stitching on it (and looks like the above), then it is "a leather wheel" for our intents and purposes. Even though it may not be genuine leather, the wheel simply has to have the stitched cover on it. We chose that wording so that if there is a simple injection molded rubber wheel, it would not be sent in because we cannot re-use it.

@SkAsphalt It would work for the core-swap then! :thumbup:

Comes as a standard option (the whole stitching) in the UAE on any 86.

You guys don't have stitchings?
