New flat bottom Steering wheel!!!! and some other hotness!

brandon @ eas · 05-21-2008, 10:45 AM

Just installed these on my car the other day, all from European auto source.

We will have some threads in the vendor section soon, but here are some things to expect, plus a TON of other carbon parts. All carbon pieces are wrapped using OEM bmw parts, so fitment is absolutely perfect of course

The wheel is built using an OEM bmw sport wheel, then modified, re-cut and re-built, that way you can retain all your steering wheel controls and cover etc.

FOR MORE INFO, or any questions, PM: tom @ eas

oh wow!... hawtness i agree.

just wondering on the structural integrity of something like steering wheel in time of crash and whether that's important, and of course quality of the bend. hard to tell from pics and steering looks like one used in Hamann car I think.

That's awesome....I've been looking for a steering wheel like that without CF. Do you happen to know if it's available with paddle cutouts?

Oh damn, nice parts!

Neema · 05-21-2008, 12:30 PM

I've held and seen this thing in person. . . . and DAMN!!! It's so cool!

Though I was telling brandon that I'd be afraid of getting this wheel because it would really feel like I was playing a video game or something, especially have paddle shifters, and then I'd be tempted to drive like a maniac haha. . .

But this wheel is SOO on my mod list.

congrats on the fastest looking 328 on the road

it most certainly is. . . . because only the actually wheel part itself is modified, other wise, the center and steering column part are OEM, and can be either paddle shift equipped or not.

OMG so tempting.

Brandon/Tom, is there M stitching on it? If not, can it be stitched as so?

TheAcAvenger · 05-21-2008, 12:44 PM

That wheel!?!? What is it!? Where can I buy it!? It's like hartge sans cf and a flat bottom!

Dubbedoutbimmer · 05-21-2008, 12:50 PM

that car is a 328?? damn

brandon @ eas · 05-21-2008, 12:52 PM

the wheels can be custom ordered, pretty much however you like. While I was there picking this one up, we got in completely black alkantera wheel, and also a alk/carbon fiber one. The carbon was only the top part of the wheel. Match that with the carbon wheel trim, and the thing is absolutely off the hook.
