OK, I finally have pics of my TTS wheel. After much deliberation, I decided on the TTS b/c of the MF controls and the white stiching to match the interior even though i love the size and look of the euro RS4. Price wise this was waaay cheaper than the Euro RS and came with the airbag (approx $750 with airbag from ebay)...and while i really don't like the look of the stock TTS/R8 wheel by itself, I found the carbon fiber TID airbag cover that sealed the deal for me (even though this fits all RS4/R8/TT/RS6 airbag covers). I ordered the CF cover from ZMax and they initially sent me the small weave cover that matches the S4 and R8 interiors, but I had them swap it out for the wide weave. I think they only have one left in wide...and yes this wheel has paddles but they don't really bother me as much as it does for others...maybe i'll rewire to work with my cruise control or something else. pics below:

is the center section inside the carbon part a cap or just a part of the original airbag

I like the shape, but the CF and red ring look out of place

just a carbon fiber cover that sticks onto the factory airbag piece with 3M double sided tape, but the fit is tight and secure and feels like it's all one piece. It's well made.

The red does match the red in the gauge cluster and climate controls...but i've heard that comment before.

slobo

not bad.. will you be selling your stock one?

JeffAhn

sooooo does that just splinter all over your face when the airbag deploys?

Not feelin the CF or red ring at all

John Stahmann

When your airbag deploys that carbon piece will come flying right at you. Definately a horrible idea.

Hopefully you can get a refund on that piece.

get rid of the red ring and it'll look way better. Props for something different.
