    Looks awesome! It looks a bit smaller in diameter than the regular wheel. I love the flat bottom - gives more room for the thighs. Feel any difference in steering effort?

    don't know yet, it was raining today, so couldn't drive with it. But it seems to be similar diameter. I did not compare directly, but the same quadrant of the speed is obscured...

    Well the one I got came with a center cap that had no horn function. So I re-used the old horn

    so just went for a drive. I LOVE it! it requires no more effort, but feels great, has ridges for your fingers and the alcantara is very easy to grip and nice in the cool weather since it was not cold to the touch. One of the best upgrades so far

    You are correct. We're awaiting resupply from Italy, but with the holidays it'll probably be 2nd week of January before they arrive. Sadly, David even sold the last one we had sitting on the shelf that was intended to go onto my car. Now I'm in the same boat (waiting) as everyone else. :(

    Is that an overlay or a entirely new piece?

    It replaces the original plastic part. You just unscrew all the gauges and screw them into the new one. Only takes about 10 mins to install, very easy and looks great.
