Sorry, we are talking about the steering wheel, not the 124 wheels ... I should have been more clear ...

Thanks everyone ... I too am extremely pleased with the truffle brown (looks great to me and hides most all dust and dirt) ...

Regarding the sports steering wheel, I have both the sports package and the comfort package (Logic 7 and comfort seats, along with sports suspension, wheels, etc). Most money wise people would go with one package or the other, but I'm not very smart with my money (but I'm happy)

So which package does that wheel come with? Cuz here in the US you cant get that wheel unless you get the SMG transmission.

I believe it comes with the sport package here in Canada, no matter which transmission you order ... but I also have the cold weather package, which is a heated steering wheel, so perhaps because I ordered the sport with cold I get the wheel you see (which by the way is great, love the look and feel). Can anyone else in Canada comment?
