Thinking about doing the swap but not if I only gain the flat bottom and no grip thickness...

Really??? It must be an illusion ut it looks thicker in pictures. Coming from an M3 our stock wheel feels like im holding a coat hanger, i hate it.

The RS6 wheel is interchangeable, but it comes with paddles.... Can they be removed??
