Talking Bought a new AMG steering wheel

I have not gotten it yet because it needs to be custom made and I have to send my wheel to Taiwan, but I have the replacement wheel now, and it will be about one month till I get it back and installed.

FYI, I have the interior that is Black/Blue which is the opposite of the merlot except I do not know what they call it. Anyways, I am having the wheel below done for me with either blue perforated leather to match the seats or black perforated leather with matching blue stitching. The wheel will be Birdseye wood and look like below except for the leather being perforated, color, and stitching.

What do you guys think will look better on the leather color and stitching?

You REALLY should get the DTM style. Nothing is better than a flat bottom steering wheel.

Well i have business contacts with the manufacturer in Taiwan and get super cheap deals lol, dirt cheap! I'm going to ask them if they can do the flat bottom. What is the process of changing the stock wheel to a flat bottom? Basically, is it hard lol

I actually sent in a piece of my wood trim from my dash to have it 100% color matched, and so it will be perfect!
