Default RS4 owners who have installed the Euro steerring wheel- impressions please!

How do you like it? How much do you miss radio sound controls? Was it worth it and would you do it again?
Thanks!

Default Absolutely, I am very happy with the wheel. I do miss the steering wheel controls....

but the feel and look of the wheel is so much better than the stock options. The only problem that I have noticed with the new wheel is that I can't drive with my knee any more. The bottom of the wheel is too slick and every once in a while my hand will slip off when I am turning. Other than that, I am totally satisfied.

Did you do the wheel yourself? Was it plug and play?

no part number available. Alcantara wheel is cool, but will easily get dirty.

Here's a pic of the alcantara wheel installed in one of my customers cars. I can tell you it looks really raced out. Awesome!!

I have a few brand new ones in stock, just out of the factory, for 725 $ shipped if anyones interested.
