that looks kinda... well really fake and boy ricer. the "real one" looks really nice.

the one pictured here looks like someone pulled a "spruce up the stock wheel" I am sure you can find the hartge roundel somewhere and take a pic of that to a good upholstry shop and have that done.

OMG I just passed out from looking at the real Hartge steering wheel.. wow!


Hmm... $700 for a imitation one? Maybe.. does it come with paddle shifter and airbag? or just the steering part?

The authentic one looks cleaner. Take note of the perforated leather area and compare with the OP pic. Also, notice where the the leather sections come together, the real one looks better, again.

Just like as below. No CF, Just leather only. Is it worth or not?
