We are gonna begin making them as well soon, just not a fan of selling airbags for liability reasons.

it is, it is a oem bmw airbag with a cover over it for the stitched look, I just don't trust where some of these company's get the airbags, I would make sure we get them from a reputable OEM supplier. I do not want to be responsible for a non OEM or rebuilt airbag not going off. That is the reason I stayed away from this conversion for so long. I've been selling Z4 and M340 wheels for as long as supra wheels. Obv market demand means I have too, but just something to keep in mind.Very interested.
What do you mean “selling airbags”? I’m assuming it’s not a direct swap (Z4 airbag) or?
This is has been my favorite wheel I’ve made to date, a little more oem+ But still stock airbag and stuff.Very interested.

Unfortunately, it's the ugly, oversized plastic airbag cover that's 91% of the problem with the OEM steering wheel. After that, there's 7% in the ugly, needlessly thick lower spoke. Everybody's touching only that last 2% because it's the easy 2%. Not that I blame them (or you).This is has been my favorite wheel I’ve made to date, a little more oem+ But still stock airbag and stuff.
Can't really change the lower spoke when that's where the vibration unit is housed.Unfortunately, it's the ugly, oversized plastic airbag cover that's 91% of the problem with the OEM steering wheel.

Toyota noticed, though! For 2023, it seems the ugly, needlessly thick lower spoke has optional out-of-place aluminum-coloured trim instead of the gloss black trim we've been stuck with so far!

Thanks, Toyota.
Oh, TIL. Thank you.Can't really change the lower spoke when that's where the vibration unit is housed.
I have one week left of my fathers day sale, I would be more then happy to hook you up! can also swap your oem dp for it!Gorgeous. May have to get something just like this (switch the chopped carbon fiber for standard weave)…
Damn. I WANT THIS. The same material and color scheme (A91 blue stitching) but with regular CF instead. Is that possible?This is has been my favorite wheel I’ve made to date, a little more oem+ But still stock airbag and stuff.![]()

I’ve been wondering the same thing. Seems like it would be easier to buy an OEM G29 wheel and then figure out what to do with the logo. Looks like it’s offered around $850 or so: https://www.bmwpartsnow.com/oem-parts/bmw-steering-wheel-329052-only-32302462905?origin=pla&gclid=CjwKCAjwnZaVBhA6EiwAVVyv9NvC23wVyBwBCLVVi7Ra4X8cx41J5snjopZivulQcOFYjDZbc04yXxoCoDAQAvD_BwEWhy not get the G29 Z4 msport steering wheel? Functions are largely a match with the Supra, IND says it’s plug and play. I prefer full leather too.
That is for the wheel only. No buttons, electronics, trim or the airbag. I priced it out to do it myself and its about $2k for everything straight from BMWI’ve been wondering the same thing.
