I'm actually curious to get a suede wrap for my wheel - because I'm not looking to spend for a replacement like the REAL, and because I'd love to try suede material, and a wrap is low risk (if it gets gunked up after a while, just remove it).
(Stock wheel is fine, but got a few scratches really easily that bug me.) Would also love to thicken the wheel up. So - has anyone come across options for a wrap that lets you thicken the wheel? And, since I want it to be reversible, I don't want to use the double-sided tape. Any experience with avoiding that? (I'm surprised that they can't just use a grippy enough substances on the inner part of the wheel to negate the need for the tape.) |

To the ones with Real steering wheel, how the shape compares with genuine one? I really like the OEM steering wheel

The REAL is a bit smaller diameter and has a slight D shape at the bottom. Felt really weird the first couple of times I drove after the install. The sides are also pretty hard, I expected a softer feel, my hands get a bit tired after driving for an hour or more.

I'll agree that the D shape felt a bit weird the first time I did any hand over hand steering, but overall I like it better than OEM. |
