Wow first time I'm seeing this! Curious to see how it will look once installed!

J. Dub · 02-01-2016, 01:52 PM

Alen E90 Truthfully, I did it for show entries. I'll be the first to admit that this would be the WORST steering wheel for auto-cross.

I went black stitching to not be "loud" and be more discreet. I also chose to stay with black leather so it's less noticeable and doesn't take away from the attention of my seats. My idea came from the new vulcan super car. Seen below. My seats being done/painted, seen as the last picture below.

I always drive with hands at 9 & 3 position. Until I shift.

Props for stepping outside the box and drawing inspiration from something so mighty!

Can't wait to see installed pics.

I confess this isn't my first rodeo... Here is my old modified OEM Lexus wheel in my IS

Also, 1 of 1 in the world

Not just bad for autocross but crash performance as well. As you say, I would only use when parked for a show.

Nice craftsmanship though.

Yes, I can't stress that enough. I can imagine if the airbag inflated there would be no support for the top portion and it, perhaps may not perform as expected.

Then again the force of the bag deploying is so great it may not need support? Who knows

but I'm not willing to find out. So I'll just use this going to and from shows.

I do know and would say that it would not perform as it should
