Lightbulb Feeler: DTM Flat Bottom Steering Wheel

Hey all 4 spoke steering wheel w203 owners...

Want to see how many people might be interested in setting up a group buy on this steering wheel built on authentic OEM steering wheel. It's the best I've seen out there and he's offering a great deal if we can get 10-15 people.



Retail: $699 plus shipping
10-15 people: $450 plus shipping and core return

It's not set yet. I'm waiting for a MBWORLD moderator to approve my request.

Please reply if you are 100% interested.

Still waiting for a reply on all the questions I've had today.
I hope to have answers to all your questions tomorrow.

It is the sickest steering wheel I have seen for the 4 spoke w203.
Hope he can do ASH for you all as well! Keeping my fingers crossed!

Need 10 people to get this price. I think we have about 7 so far including the C32 guys.

So you need to do a core exchange I suppose. My stock wheel was wrapped in cf!

Good news, they can make it in "Ash" but will need your core first in order to get it made. I'm finalizing details with Ivan today.

I'll have all the details including turn around time today.

Check back and sign-up if your interested! Need 10-15 for this price.

I'll ask about the CF wrapped wheel as core exchange.

Someone needed the current steering wheel to do a "custom" setup, so they traded with you!

Waiting for an administrator to post my Group Buy Thread.

All the details are in, and the Group Buy is on! Just need 10 people, 20 is the cut-off for this group buy.

The wheels are being hand built and the manufacturer can only handle 5 weels every 2 weeks. $225 deposit up-front, $225 balance + $50 shipping. Shipping from Taiwan.

1st group (5) will receive their wheels in 2 weeks,
2nd group (5) in 4 weeks,
3rd group (5) in 6 weeks,
Final group (5) in 8 weeks.

So if you can put down the $225 deposit now and the balance within 2-8 weeks, you should take advantage of this deal. 1 time only Group Buy!

It would be not to!
