Carlsson Steering

The one offered by Carlsson is the bst I've seen so far. It appears (correct me if I am wrong) that they have an all leather and then leather+graphite combo. They also seem to offer a graphite interior trim but it's not clear from the picture: http://www.carlsson.de/en/tuning/cls...erieur/03.html
I wasn't thrilled with the Brabus steering system...
Any other good ones? Does the Carlsson wheel come with the buttons underneath and who would sell it the cheapest here in the US?

About 4 months ago, I spoke with someone at http://www.Autowerksdirect.com/ and according to them they used our steering wheel as a core/base and send to Germany and have a very speciality shop to thicken the grip area and wrap around whatever leather/wood you want. If I remember correctly they want $15XX. If you find something else, please let us know.

I saw it on their website and I must admit it doesn't look too bad...although I must also admit that this wrap-around deal sounds a bit Mickey Mouse to me...
The Carlsson has partail napa leather and somehow looks more luxurios...

If the price is not too big of the different I will go for Carlsson or Brabus for sure.

I'm sure they do, just make sure it's SL/R129 one...
