Yes, I am saying that the E55 wheel is not up to the rest of the car. It is not an ergonomic wheel and it is basically covered with pleather as opposed to a nice leather.

The MP/Renntech wheels are very nice leather and much thicker.

IMHO, there is nothing worse then a great car with an average wheel as that is what you are touching when you drive it.

Is how I feel also...which is why I am looking for a good deal on a new wheel...thought I wanted one to match my wood trim in the car...but now I might be open to others I am seeing.

Even if it's smack talk, you're still asking $500+ more than Renntech & using their pic to do it.

However you got to that figure, it still doesn't change that anyone can get one direct from Renntech for less.

I love my MP wheel (except for the button that i still haven't touched, LOL!!). I got bored with the thred, so i dunno what the sellar was trying to pull. I'd reonsider buying a RennTech one and get it from MP instead. It won't have a RennTech tag on it, but it won't have the price, either. For those that don't like wood or CF, consider the new AMG wheel. it is smaller and has great feel to it as well.
