AR | Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel

[EIGHTLUG]

I’ve made carbon fiber steering wheels for my car, several other GT350s, and other Mustangs. It would be wrong to deprive the Bronco community of these handfuls of awesome. Our wheels are made to order and I don’t think I’ve made two of the same wheel yet. There are so many options and combinations.

All of your buttons, trim, and airbag will transfer over to the new carbon wheel. You can send me your original wheel as a core when you’re ready and keep the process going. If a core is on hand, turn around time is 3-4 weeks to your door.

You’ll lose the heated wheel function, if you have it. Typically, the carbon wheels are not hot or cold, especially if you have the suede at 9 and 3. If your rig is more off-road bound, I’d deter you from the suede and just go full carbon.

Pricing varies with the options you add. I’m thinking anywhere from $450-$900, depending on how much sauce you throw at it. If you want to keep you original wheel, I can provide the core at an added cost. For the Mustangs, it was around $280 for a new wheel with no airbag and electronics. Just to give you a baseline.

Typical options are:

• Carbon finish - Gloss / Satin / Matte
• Carbon weave - Twill or Forged
• 12 o’clock stripe (color of your choice)
• Suede
• Stitching and stitch color
• Round wheel / Flat Bottom / Flat Top & Bottom


It takes about 45 min, start to finish, to swap over all of the electronics from your original Mustang wheel to the carbon wheel and mount it in your car. I would expect the Bronco to be the same process. If you’re not keen on mods like this, any body shop worth their salt can do it. They do it all the time.

If you’re interested, PM me and we can get a wheel curated for you and generate a quote. If you have questions, keep them in the thread.

I'll definitely be looking into one of these when/if the Bronco ever gets built in the next decade.

Satin carbon finish
orange stripe at 12 o'clock
orange stitching
Suede
Flat bottom

This is how I'd order if I had the Bronco already.

Time to dream and drool some more.

how close can you get to the color of the accent interior? Like Orange for Bandlands.

Looks great. Any other material/finish options beyond Carbon and Suede? I'm likely going base with the plastic steering wheel and wouldn't mind one with some leather, accent stitching, and possibly a flat bottom. Thanks!

Dead nuts. For example, the yellow 12 o'clock stripe on the wheel in the pictures above is Ferrari Giallo Modena yellow. The color swatch can be sourced directly from the manufacturer.

Leather is 100% doable.

Now that I think about it, I guess I would prefer leather over suede, but I'll cross that bridge when they decide to build mine.

Heated wheel maintained, correct?

This project is rolling. I have two brand new steering wheels inbound (they were ordered last week), directly from Detroit. There are custom steering wheels in the queue. If cores are returned as people are receiving/installing their new carbon fiber wheels, things should go rather smoothly.

Once the wheels arrive from Detroit, it's about a 2-3 week turnaround to build the new carbon wheel. All told, we're 5-6 weeks out from having finished steering wheel pictures to share.

This looks promising.

Any interest in making carbon fiber mirror caps?

Sure. I think I already have that scan data.

Awesome! I will keep an eye out. I think I'm going to "Wilktrak" my Badlands with painted door handles and carbon fiber mirror caps. A carbon fiber grille would be awesome too but would probably be too expensive for its purpose.

Right in the description….

“You’ll lose the heated wheel function, if you have it. Typically, the carbon wheels are not hot or cold, especially if you have the suede at 9 and 3.”

Apparently reading and comprehension isn't my strong suit.
