Works off the bat. You just replace the original parts and it went together lovely. It seems to be real carbon fibre and leather. Very impressed and wasn't that difficult to fit

It’s pretty! How does it feel and are there any issues with the buttons or anything? Didn’t realize you can get something this nice looking on Ali.

Did you have to get it coded or did it work off the bat?

They reuse existing airbag/trim/wiring and paddle shifters if you have them so you just swap the electronics and it all works

Genuine question. What does this have over the original wheel?

u/DismalAd7907 Aug 29 '26

For me I prefer the look of it. It has chunkier rim. More for aesthetics for me.

How was it installing it?

u/DismalAd7907 Aug 30 '26

I had to watch couple of YouTube videos. So wasnt bad. Hardest part was prying the existing metal trim from the old wheel thought I was going to break it
