Default New Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel for my RS5

It was shipped today and I hope to receive next week... I can't wait to get it installed... I also changed all the stitching from silver to red to match the wheel... It's actually a very easy job as long as you take your time...

Is that an OEM wheel? What did it come off of? Would look great on any car with Carbon Atlas inlay!

It's 1/2" smaller than the stock wheel and a bit thicker than the RS wheel... This is the 2nd wheel I've bought from Nexon... I loved the wheel I had on my TTRS so I bought another one...

Thanks for posting.

Did you install? Disconnect battery to disable airbag?

There is a tech write up here on how I installed my flat bottom steering wheel on my RS4 if one wants to know the process.
