GMballistic Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Haha I had the same thought with the BMW picture... Looks great and blue on anthracite wheels is such an awesome combo! That's a good one. Quote
JoshC Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Haha I had the same thought with the BMW picture... Looks great and blue on anthracite wheels is such an awesome combo! Hahaha! Love it! It definitely could have done more to blend in! Looks great Josh! Make sure you get plenty photos of the steering wheel when it comes! I have been speaking to Jack about re trimming mine, and had settled on a similar finish to yours, but with the red centre ring. Will do, was sent out today and should have it tomorrow so looking forward to it! Little worried though now I've been driving the car that the extra padding may make it too thick. Also, as he only sends the wheel and not the centre part, I'm not sure how the bottom spoke of the centre of the wheel will fit over the new flat bottom! Edited December 22, 2014 by JoshC Quote

Looking at the flat bottom carbon ones on the US forums, i think it will be okay mate: http://www.the370z.c...cf-element.html This is the photo he sent me: Edited December 22, 2014 by ross27 Quote
JoshC Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 Ahhh okay! I see how it works now! Yeah that's thr same picture he sent me, I've basically ordered the same thing expect with padding and blue stitching snd centre band! Quote
JoshC Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 Having said that, that juke wheel above looks like it might have the padding anyway Csnt wait to see mine now! 1 Quote
Suits Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 That wheel is awesome. Is it a Juke Nismo one ? Quote
ross27 Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 That wheel is awesome. Is it a Juke Nismo one ? The 370z shares the same wheel as the Juke, however the one above has been significantly re worked. The Nismo (Juke & 370z) has a standard shaped wheel with alcantara sides, and the red ring at the top. Quote
JoshC Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 If mine looks anything like the above tomorrow I'll be chuffed! Quote
Suits Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 I don't find anything wrong with the 370 wheel on track especially with gloves but that said, I'd love alcantara and a centre ring !! Looking forward to seeing yours tomorrow Josh. Expensive ?? Quote

Looking forward to seeing yours tomorrow Josh. Expensive ?? Tbf I ordered it before I picked the car up and I did so because I drove an M sport Z4 on the same day as a brief test drive of the Z and just remember the chunky and padded Z4 wheel being much nice to hold. The 370 wheel is a lot nicer than I remember from the test drive but still worth the upgrade hopefully! It was £120 for the retrim with half leather/alacantara and and extra £70 for the re-shape! Bargain IMO considering the cost of some of the Momo wheels which obviously don't retain your airbag and controls etc! Edited December 22, 2014 by JoshC Quote
JoshC Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 New wheel turned up this morning and took it straight to my friend to fit it. More than chuffed with if, spot on for what I was looking for and looks completely OEM! The thickness is spot on, it's kept the shape of the thumb grips etc and you'd never know the flat bottom was a modification. Anyway, some pics of it.... So as I said, it's the standard 370 wheel that Royal retrimmed the putter but for me, top and bottom in smooth nappa leather, sides in grey alacantara, blue stitching and centre band and a flat bottom. Can't recdomend Jack at Royal enough! Amazing work and very quick and affordable too! My mats, spacers and led's all round are here ready to go in too! 4 Quote
ross27 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Looks spot on Josh! Might just have swayed me to push the button on an order! Quote
JoshC Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 Won't regret it mate! Won't spend a much better £200 Quote

JoshC Posted December 24, 2014 Author Posted December 24, 2014 Cheers all! Like I said, can't reccomend them enough! The company is called Royal Steering Wheels. Google them and give Jack a call or email. To be honest he's not all that quick at replying but if you call him and talk through exactly what you want and get him to send you a PayPal invoice he's very quick from payment to getting it sent out Quote

Great value, as far as I know it's always been very expensive to retrim a wheel but Jack seems to be the cheapest around and I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job! Quote
JoshC Posted December 24, 2014 Author Posted December 24, 2014 Oh and btw, there is a £15 delivery charge on top and if you ise the exchange option a £50 deposit which he refunds when he receives your standard wheel back! Quote
Ceejay29 Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Lovely car, my favourite colour for the 370. Apart from all of the other details/improvements; I love how the needle sits perfectly on the 'y axis' of each gauge/speedo. A minor detail but gets me every time Quote
