Default Changed from Blue CF to Black CF 3-Spoke Steering Wheel

I seem to have trouble with deciding on what I want in a steering wheel. This is number 5. Well, actually number four dyed black.

I started out with a midnight blue interior with a blue four spoke tiptronic wheel. I changed the interior to black and went with a three spoke black tiptronic wheel. Then a black three spoke wheel without the buttons (I down shifted several times when I would accidentally hit one). Then to an all leather Metro blue carbon fiber wheel. Now I've dyed that wheel to black. Perhaps I am done now....but I doubt it.

It looks great Chuck, although the blue one looked nice as well. The 3 spoke wheel looks great in our cars.

Although the blue was consistent with the rest of the interior, I do like the black one better.

It was an eBay find. $455.00 for the CF wheel and leather air bag. It was poorly listed .

It was a difficult decision to change the color because there is no going back. From an overview outside the car the blue wheel looked fine because of the blue carpet. However, when you were in the car the blue was out of place with the black dash, seats and so on.
