philj350z Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) 1st stage of my journey. Wanted to retain the air bag and controls so looked for a while for a replacement. Sourced from online recommendations and this forum a replacement wheel from royalsteeringwheels, I cannot fault the wheel or the service, really top class, changed wheel shape and re done in leather with alcantara, red stiching, really nice quality feel and such a nice seller. Picture below. Edited August 10, 2015 by philj350z 3 Quote
martybhoy Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Looks good. I have a spare wheel waiting for the cash flow to open up a bit to send mine off to them. Quote
hairyman68 Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Can I ask much it was. Is it difficult to fit ..? How do you disarm the airbags..? Quote
philj350z Posted August 10, 2015 Author Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) All the details are on the website royalsteeringwheels.com/. I could not be without my car so Jack at royalsteering wheels sorted me out a replacement wheel. Complete job took about 2 weeks, I drove down there to have the new wheel fitted, cost me £60 pounds for a replacement wheel and £200 for the modified replacement with the chosen leather trim. If you were sending in your wheel then would be no more than £200, but Jack gets a quote to you really quickly, he installed everything for me, watching the intall the air bag just disconects - looked pretty simple if you have all the right tools, for the money i prefered to let an expert do it.

PPod Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Ohhh thats really nice. How does it feel when driving with that new shape Quote
KyleR Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Sorry bud, don't like the sides, looks a bit too "Ripspeed" for me. Apart from that it looks great Quote
philj350z Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 Driving for me feels more comfortable, better feel and hands slot into the sides quite naturally. I took the sides look from the GTR wheel whihc I quite liked, done a few gtr track days -ahh dream car !! Quote
PPod Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 ^^^^ cheers wheel looks great may get a new one as mines is a bit worn. Quote
