I like your steering wheel. Where did you get it?

I visited Carsdream last year when I was in Germany to talk to them about the possibility of having them do mine. I like that they can also wrap the Airbag when other companies don’t and that they can get exact matching leather and embossing.

They were working over a new Turbo S and it was absolutely sick.

I talked with the owner Wislaw sp? about different wheel options and he showed me some examples and we discussed shipping etc. The wheels looked amazing. He gave me his card and I tried to WhatsApp him when I got home but to this day the message shows as unread. I’m not sure what is happening there. Possibly I have his number wrong but the number has a Carsdream logo.

I gave up and moved to other projects but I still really want to do this as I feel the stock wheel covering looks cheap and want a better feeling wheel.

I see now there was a group buy on Rennlist late last fall that would have been great to get in on but I didn’t see it at the time.

Did you get in on a group buy or did you work directly with Wislaw?

Your wheel looks great, btw.

I did everything over the website. Chuck W on here had some work done by them and referred me to them. The communication by email was good. I didn't end up having them do the airbag. I think the total time between me sending my wheel and getting it back was around 5 weeks. The price was less than half of what the places state side were asking. I think the wheel came out great and I was very happy with the whole experience.
