Reduce the diameter then I'd consider it. I'm thinking Lotus Elise sized wheel. It was my favorite wheel I've ever driven with.

Top two and if they were thicker. I'be always liked thicker steering wheels, I got one from SonicMS for my 545, loved it and it was about $450.

I think pricing on these are more than fair, please make them happen. Put me on the list.

I would Like

-Thicker handle with Grip dents
- Carbon Fiber Construction (Partially even)
- A Super Flat Bottom

Cost doesn't Really Matter but Normally around 1k is acceptable.

Been looking for something just like the top one. If that is in the $300s I'd be very interested.

I want an Alcantara wrapped wheel that is thicker like I had on my e46 m3 at around $300. That is what I paid for that one after core exchange. All of the current offering for our cars are way to expensive.

I just want smooth Italian leather with red stitching; no change in shape or thickness. I hate perforated leather and the material Subaru uses feels very cheap, if it's even leather at all?
