As tach is already very big and in center, like in many sporty cars, and as this wheel most probably will be very expensive for that extra flashy bling, imho not worth it. See no need to duplicate tach almost right by it, and especially with gauge displayed on something frequently rotated. Not functionally making something better and too overdone something imho is not cool, just ricing/blinging out. Also, while described as 2014~2017 compatible, i guess one will loose steering wheel controls on MY2017 kouki.
My own choice rather would be J-Luth steering wheels, that are both smaller diameter and also at 20mm offset closer to driver and also allow retaining stock airbag.

I just want a 2017+ version from DAMD. No bells or whistles, just a plain d-shaped wheel.
