How long have you had the Carsdream wheels? Do they seem durable?

The $800 wheel looks great but is not in my budget.

I wish I had the purple one for my Subaru!

I've had the carsdream wheel for two driving seasons. It is holding up great. No signs of wear at all.

Oh that is tempting! Thanks for links!

Sadly, my allowance is going towards brakes and tires.

I've had the one on the Boxster for over three years. Great quality and no issues. Their web site shows the leather they use. Someone on another forum mentioned that it was a high quality leather product.

I sent a wheel to CarsDream last year. It took two month round trip.... 6/9/2016 sent, 8/8/16 returned. The time it takes always varies.

Here are the cost from that wheel

Shipping To $50.37
CarsDream $135.75
PayPal Conv $6.56
Shipping From $20.37

Total Cost $213,05
