Default Dallas Custom Steering Wheel + 3 spoke = :)

Here's a couple of shots of the 3 spoke wheel I had Don @ DCSW jazz up for me.

I've been driving mid 2000 vintage Bimmers with ///M Spec steering wheels for the last few years. This added thickness has gradually caused me to dislike the thin Porsche wheels that have been in use for the last few decades. Don, was able to remedy the problem using his "thinker" pad. While he was in there he added a little bling to it.

It now has a great beefy grip and blends into the car perfectly. A non Porsche person would never notice that it wasn't 100% original. It looks 1,000,000 X better then what it left the assembly line with.

That looks great!

I have a Porsche CPZ 3-spoke and I love it.

IMHO, some of the best money ever spent on a car. Especially after deal with AGLA a few years back and trying to recover a 3 spoke wheel myself.

$366.00 shipped back to me. 2 or 3 day turn around.

Stephen - the 3 spoke wheel looks great and a good price also.

I know what you are saying in regards to the thicker M steering wheel. I just installed this tri stitch in my E46 this weekend.


Now lets see some pics of that 993TT

Scott, I'm rocking the pleather tri-stich in my beater as well. I swapped it out from the same wheel w/ alcantera that came with the car. I wish I had known about Don then. I would have just had it recovered.



Sorry, that's all I can reveal right now. I should have more real soon. The ecu is in Arkansas getting Knightonized. The Injectors are in Detroit getting cleaned and flow tested.

M wheel is a bit too thick for my hands, as well as the current Sports package wheel. But this Dallas wheel is like pure **** - me wants. Especially with perforated leather and color stitching... love it!
