I'd buy either of the bottom 2 at the right price.

Second from the bottom, but with alcantara instead of leather.

Can't anyone make a steering wheel that doesn't look taller than it is wide?

Any chance we can get a smaller diameter wheel? Maybe a flat bottom wheel?

I would like a CF one personally. Smaller than stock with the flat bottom. Now if you could do alcantara and CF (second from last picture) like mentioned earlier I would down for that. Im sure a full alcantara or leather would be a seller for a lower priced option. Red stitching over black to match the rest of the interior.

Also feedback from others is make sure to get that deep grip area at the 9-3 positions like is pictured. Its a nicer feel and more secure.
