I'm in process on getting a my wheel custom wrap. I'm looking for some cool sport looking designs. Which ones do you like the best?


So far I came up with this:


1)



2)







3)

Hard to give a simple answer....#1 if and only if there are other red elements in the interior. Otherwise, the red lower seems very out of place. The problem with the other 2 is the use of Alcantara (a trademark name for a man made fabric). Too many issues with keeping Alcantara clean and looking new over time. Google the name, Alcantara, and read their site for cleaning/maintenance instructions. My preference, not shown, would be black perforated leather all around.

None of the above. Don't like the silver.

My vote is to keep whatever steering wheel you have now but add custom stitching at the top of the steering wheel so you know its center.

I was going to ask the color of the car and interior pieces. The red would only look good if there were other red elements of the car.

I also am not a fan of alcantara; don't like the way it feels. Perforated leather is always #1 in my book.

Well said Sportstick.

I think, I'm going with #3 but perforated leather not Alcantara and red stitching.
