Default My new DCT MotorSports CF steering wheel

Just wanted to share a pic for everyone it's a real nice quality wheel and it feels good in your hands . Ivan was easy to work with and got me the wheel in less than a month install took about 25 minutes and was super simple deff recommend this upgrade to anyone interested its worth the few $$$

Very nice! Congrats.

Most under rated mod IMO. I remember when I upgraded my steering wheel on my suby, it felt like I was driving a completely different car.

Yea totally different feeling wired how circumference and girth of a wheel can make the car feel different!

Thanks

I Don't know of actual measurements but its thicker and the solid carbon section feels good to hold on to when driving one handed

Adding the F logo adds around $3-400 bucks if I remember correctly because they would have to buy the entire rear seat tray to get the F logo off of to use on this wheel.

I may be tempted to do it myself with my logo from my old wheel lol we shall see
