Base steering wheel by Dallas Custom Steering Wheel

[Climber]

So is it essentially a wrap over the old wheel or did they completely remove and replace the plastic? How does it feel compared to the old wheel, looks thicker (which I personally would enjoy coming from a BMW M steering wheel).

I don’t have it in my hands yet, it shipped today, the photos are from the vendor. I’ll report on material quality and post photos when it’s in. There was an extra charge to thicken the wheel. The tri color stitch was no additional charge. They do a lot of German stuff, check their website. It was a base, uncovered wheel I purchased new. I find the factory wheel covering substandard even in higher trims, I believe I’ve read quips about it in reviews as well.

Anyway, if it was worth the cost is an opinion. I got a base so I would have bandwidth to improve things like this to ‘make it mine’.

Damn your clean garage!!!! Makes me feel so inadequate.

LOL! If you could see it in the reals, you would say otherwise!

I looked at putting on a F150 Raptor wheel on my base and it was a no go. You can get them cheaper then this costs.

My gosh. If I could fit a Raptor steering wheel I would be so happy. But I can see why it wouldnt. work

Update and cost?

It was just under $400 plus the core wheel.

Looks awesome!

So about $650 all in. I wonder what the Raptor wheels will set us back at.

Let us know if you’re able to get a hold of one!

I got this back from them just now.

Don't laugh, but I like the Base steering wheel -- a lot. I guess when you've got calluses from 35+ years of hard work, you don't need a cushy leather steering wheel.

If only they could add heat!

 

[Climber]

Agreed

@Climber Is yours the 1/8" or 1/16" padding? You didn't add additional "thumb bumps" - that's just wrapping the OEM shape? Thanks!

Check out my new steering wheel. The work speaks for itself. I will touch this every time I drive, and it’s a huge improvement over the base uncovered wheel. Looking forward to getting it installed, will post when I do.

Nice job! I like the beefier wheel look.

 

[Climber]

It looks better installed!

As I look at my order, it has no fattening
