You might be right.
Strangely, I didn't smell it until I changed the transmission fluid.

It's been a few hundred miles since I changed the fluid. If that were the case, it would have burned off by now. I'm not seeing smoke. It just smells like hot gear oil.

~$530 for a set of 4. That price is low enough to make me question their quality, thus the original question.
I see numerous performance shops sell them but feedback or reviews are limited.

Mystery mounts holes

I have two holes in the trim piece under the steering wheel. There are faint indentions from whatever was once there.
I'm not even sure they're factory holes.

Any ideas?...
