Default Custom Steering Wheel, Pics!

My steering wheel is finished. I got it custom done, now I'm just waiting to receive it in the mail. I had it padded to increase the thickness up to around the thickness of an m3 wheel, very thick. I'm a valet and I measured the thickness of wheels on all different sorts of cars, nothing came close except the hummer h3, which have very thick wheels, actually slightly thicker than this. Custom basting stitching (as seen on BMW/Mercedes/Porsche), red leather center band, and perforated leather on the sides. I can't wait to get this and install it. The guy used an 06 wheel, hopefully it'll work on my 05. Heres pics.











Pretty much anything with the wheel was customizeable, this is just the setup I chose because I have red leather seats and black leather shift/parking brake boots. I just couldn't stand the TRD tC's having a cooler steering wheel than me, but I wasn't willing to sacrafice my airbag or cruise control. This is a perfect compromise.

Thanks man, I tried to get a group buy together but people weren't feeling the idea, or just didn't care. Oh well more uniqueness for me

The center thing doesn't look... centered. It looks like it is to the right a tiny bit.

agreed. looks ok though. not a fan of the stock wheel period, but it doesn't look too bad.
