CARBONTASTIC Steering Wheel!

Hello all,
I made a post awhile back talking about the upcoming build of my car. There was a few people who wanted to see everything installed. I got my CARBONTASTIC Wheel installed, as well as my long sought after OEM 19inch wheels, and installed my ARH Catted Headers: Here’s some pictures and info:





The steering wheel was my favorite install so far! All the required components come with the wheel, however, it seemed that some of the supplied connections were too short so my shop but hand wired the whole thing, other than that, works perfectly, the feel is incredibly thick! The weave is very nice with only a few minor flaws, but with it being hand made, they craftsmanship is incredible. The shift light bar is fully adjustable! Even colors! Love this piece!



19 Inch OEM Wheels! So happy I was able to find these!

I attached some videos below of the headers, see if you can view them!

Hope you all enjoy
-Ricky

That steering wheel looks amazing! Since the wheel is from a W205 are all of the all controls functional?

Thanks man! I appreciate it! Yeah they all work fine. This goes for all of his wheels too. Shift light colors are all adjustable too, and the shift point is adjustable to whatever rpm you set it to.

Thanks! It was definitely not cheap! Took a lot of thinking back and forth. It cost me about $2400. Mine is fully loaded. You can definitely get the price down if you change the options. But in the end, it was a great choice! I love it!

I will let you guys know if it happens, so far it's looking good, we will see. They also have the tech to do the RPM screen (start with Mercedes symbol, etc), obviously at an added cost, but yea, I'll keep you all updated.

Did you need a different steering column/stalk for the different wheel?

No, mine was just a plug and play kind of scenario. Just take the airbag out. Unscrew the main bolt, and repeat. Some wiring may be needed for the buttons to all work. Keep us posted!

Yeah it’s quite a long wait, maybe more now with the influx of orders, I think mine took about 3-4 weeks.
