Red-Line Sport Steering Wheel on Ebay

I'm considering buying the steering wheel in the auction below (looks like the MP wheel at half the cost, what gives?). I emailed the seller about shifter buttons and he said he would cut out the holes if I sent him my buttons. Anyone ever seen one of these wheels in person or had any experience with this seller/shop? TIA.

They are in Rowland Heights...not too far from OC. Ask them if you can check it out in person.

Seems like they do not allow local pick ups...

Just heard back from the seller. He said the wheel would be modified to include the holes for the shift buttons by the manufacturer. Not really sure where the manufacturer is, etc.

The pics are nice, and he has solid feedback from others who have bought it.

Wonder if I could fab the wheel myself to fit the buttons. Or maybe I should give HMS a call to inquire about it.

One things for sure, the price is right.

Anyone have any thoughts as to the quality of this wheel?

I know there are some members here with extensive knowledge concerning the different steering wheels out there, any thoughts as to whether this is a good buy and whether a shop would be able to easily fab the wheel to include shift buttons? Or should I just bite the bullet and buy an MP wheel.

TIA.
