What year is your isf? Have you tried a later year isf steering wheel? I'm not exactly sure what year they changed to a thicker one.

This will add the 'girth' you want to your wheel.

I knew the steering wheel was a bit on the skinny side. It's not a big deal for me, but I just prefer a little added thickness. I've pretty much had this steering wheel cover since I've had the car, replaced once so far with the exact same one. It does the job, but after seeing how some members have the flat bottom wheel and added thickness, I think I might be looking at one myself in the near future.

2011+ the IS-F wheel was upgraded. It has more girth and feels quite nice compared to the 2008-2010 which feels like the regular IS250/350 wheel.

Lowrider's wheel looks amazing and yes the IS-F definitely needs a thick wheel like the M3 which feels awesome.

I will have to hunt a 2011+ in my area and check it out. They have the headlights and suspension too.

Check out these guys, they are well known on s2ki, R8talk, NSXprime and take OEM wheels, upgrade them to various thickness using CF or Suede, leather, etc.

I live close by their shop if you want me to swing by!
