Couldnt one just buy a leather version from suncost for $1000 and pay a shop $300 to wrap it in alcantra?

In order to get the $2,700 steering wheel, you first have to buy the $380,000 car. Seems like a deal, if you asked me.

4.0 wheel is too thin, the upgraded black .2RS is much prettier and thicker but with yellow stripe.

That upgraded .2 rs wheel is also 2500 and takes 5-6 months to get.

The upgraded black .2 gt3 rs wheel is the CLA wheel. The price and timeline I posted was for the CLA wheel from suncoast. Gert at Carnewal can't even get it.

I had to get it after upgrading the GTR wheel to a Mines. The alcantara feel for the thumbs was so much better than feeling the plastic. I felt the 07 GT3 had a much better stock wheel than the 11 RS.

Clearly a very smart man.
Interior all blacked out? See pic 2305 in my signature..
My favorite interior was 3.1 identical to 3.0; all blacked out but with alcantara center console..

I sold my Porsche tax. Why do I miss it so much though?
