Looks awesome! I really would love to replace the 2017 wheel.. I hate how slippery it is. It's just hard to stomach the price, haha.

Definitely looks like a nice quality steering wheel, though.
Driven ~75 miles with it so far (most of that on the freeway, coming home from getting it installed) and so far I'd say it was worth the price. Much better grip and just the feel of steering is so much improved by the shape of it.

How much thicker is it compared to the stock 2017 wheel?

Order it from your local dealership
Part numbers
57707ca012
57707ca002
57707ca050

The bumper bracket for the right side seem to be perfect on everyone's car, including mine, so I'd only order the left one.

Didn't like the curly wire from my Beltronics RX65 to the 12v plug in the centre console so fitted this very tidy solution, the wire tap connector allows installation without having to cut wires! Just pick an occupied fuse on the inside fuse box, piggyback that fuse into that fuse tap and find an earth (I used the bolt holding the fuse panel) for the black earth wire. Then i just ran the wire up the A pillar and across to the mirror, super easy.
Paid NZ$30 here:

I'm happy to help with postage, overseas its about NZ$15 to the US if anyones interested. Or the guy may send direct, i could put you in touch.
Hope this helps someone.
