Nice! Very nice! I have had three wheels done by CarsDream. Everyone was perfect!

Looks good! Here are a couple of decent shots of mine that I finally managed to take recently:

Ilco, I've been curious about this for a while and will take a better pic in a car today to confirm. But it does appear that leather bag matches closer to the wheel than the vinyl bag, no? Or maybe it's just camera artifact and the eye can't really see it.

Your interior is the same as mine down to Passat cupholder. Maybe I should have gone with blue stitching

Mike,

A public thank you for managing all this! My wheel should arrive tomorrow, can't wait. Photos to follow.

Shawn, no problem at all, glad to do this. Yours is on the truck and scheduled for tomorrow, yep. You're the closest to Boston so will be the first one to get it. The rest of the folks will have to dream of cardreams over the weekend

Sorry for the little price mix-up on my end (yes, folks, they taught us math in Eastern Urrap, but they can't make us apply it properly 30 years later, can they?).

Yes, the vinyl airbag cover is glossier. Not so easy to notice in person but the flash on the camera accentuates it.

The car came with that cup holder and I never ever use it, just can't get around to taking it off. And I know that will only take 2 minutes anyway...

Ilko, if you take it off I'll buy it from you if the rubber is still OK. Mine has deteriorated.

If yours is not screwed on than it takes 2 seconds to take off,m just pull down. Mine's not screwed on.

Lazy bum.

If you want to get rid of it, I will take it off your hands for the right price. Not sure what the going rate for those things is. I'm still using duct tape on the PS floor mat. EDIT: didn't see Mike called dibs already. Let me know if that doesn't work out.

Imma have to get me a wheel from CarsDream one of these days. Thanks to Mike for spending the time talking it over with me a while back... didn't work out as they didn't have a 3-spoke core to use at the time.

Love the wheels.. But I think Airbop has taken it too far.... Looks like he will be sleeping with his wheel. ;-)

Great GB.... Really Really like the perforated leather.

Ditto. I just want a thicker MoMo RS wheel. Mine is too thin and hard. (Yah, yah...jokes)

They will be recovering mine when I come across a spare wheel.

I already checked out their location and will be hand-delivering my wheel with a pick-up at the end of my usual Euro motorcycle tour.

They do beautiful work.
