Question Anyone bought a Lorinser carbon fiber steering wheel?

I just wanna know if anyone on this forum have this steering wheel?
It's pritty hot but it's missing the cool 'n' phat thumb grips on both sides!
Scheize verdamt 4 dat!

If anyone have this steering wheel can you measure the thickness of the above hand grips?

I posted this steering wheel on the officail mod thread but I don't think people are willing to loose that chunky grip of oem wheel for these.
I also found these

this one is little pricey and made in taiwan which I wouldn't mind but the quality is unknown.

too bad this CF st. w. isn't based on original MB core for safety reasons.
this is an aftermarket steering wheel, maybe in very good quality or maybe not?

Right!! I have no idea how the quality is and I kind of think this wheel will look out of place with the airback system.

A little with delay I can give you some information now...

I know the guy who offers the steering wheel from Kowalskis first link. When I was in his stock today I saw the Lorinser cases. It is an original Lorinser and it is new. He baught 60 pieces, thats the reason he can offer rather cheap.
I checked one and in my opinion the quality is good. You can hardly see the cut in cf on the back of the wheel. But for me it would be too thin. I prefer small and fat...
