Definitely more along the lines of what I want (and possibly others).

Not the right time for me to buy (just had cataracts surgery that cost $4000 after insurance) but possibly would make a nice Christmas present to myself.

If one were to return their core what's the cost? I have enough parts in my garage for cars I haven't owned in years that I don't really need to add more of them.
Core return is $220, issue is shipping it back is generally half of that, but of course it can be arranged.

I was looking for something more along the lines of this, just in regular flat leather. You can see by the shape and the seams that this is literally just a re wrapped factory wheel.

yes of course, they can mold it so it is OEM style.

All the wheels appear to be smooth without finger bumps? I don't know what to call them but any amount of sweat and those wheels are slippin' all over the place. A well done M style wheel would be my preference. The chinese aspect is not an issue in my opinion since almost all companies are using those facilities (many using the same lines).

Nice. Is there something that can be done with the plastic piece at the bottom? It's probably the ugliest part of the wheel. I would be interested in smooth leather top and bottom, alcantara on the sides maybe on the horn cover or smooth leather and CF on that fugly plastic piece (no led or lcd). If that can't be changed though you'll have a pretty wheel with a giant plastic wart

So I recently made a friend in China who owns a manufacturing plant that supplies almost all of the steering wheels that we are buying. I bought a few for myself and some friends and the quality is spectacular, she uses oem cores and from start to finish took 2 and a half weeks. plus she offers a good warranty. I am not in the business of exposing her clients but some of them are charging 2 and sometimes 3x the price that she is selling them for. a $850-900 dollar LED Shift light custom wheel for 1900+ core. I want to start selling them at normal prices, for examples $7-900 shipped with no core required. Here are some of the wheels she has done for me and some buddies, trying to make this transparent and easy and posting here to get some feedback! I did not want to say anything till I had a few in my hand and could confirm quality etc and that everything was legit. Not trying to really make a million bucks of this, just sort of pay for my time and stop letting people get royally bent over with pricing. Let me know your thoughts below! We can literally make any configuration, paddles, trim etc.

Several players in the market already. Not sure the volume you will get.

What kind of leather is used? I had a BRZ and that leather would peel away after a while. It seems the leather that BMW uses on their wheels are much nicer and more durable. How does this leather compare?

my buddies just arrived and it is better than the factory one in terms of quality and initial feel forsure, I have not had it for more than a few weeks now so I can not speak for 1yr+ durability but it is under warranty for stuff like that

I would definitely be interested in getting one with leather perforated if possible and red stitching. No lights
