This happened to me today

What happened??

Let’s play Clue. I think it was Professor Clumseau who hit the top of the taillight in the garage with a (towel wrapped) candlestick.

Agh. Insurance time. Btw they will cover ceramic coating of the replacement bumper, if the original had it to begin with.

Installed this bad boy today and fixed the factory steering wheel alignment a lot of us have experienced (which was made worse when my wheel was replaced under warranty a few months ago). The wheel is about 5.0 lbs vs 2.5 lbs stock (wheel only, no trim/controls) which was quite surprising to me. You do feel the weight of the wheel when you use it as well, everything just feels smoother making the wheel easier to turn (in a similar manner a weighted shift knob makes stuff easier to shift). Forgive the mess in the car, it's winter time and not my favorite time to clean (if you look close enough you'll see snow outside the car!).

Where you buy this?

Where you buy this?

IS_autogroup (Import Spec Autogroup) on Instagram. They don't have an online store yet, so you have to contact them on Instagram. Pricing varies based on options, this wheel was 450 + shipping over the Black Friday weekend (500 + shipping otherwise), adding red CF on the bottom would cost you an additional 30, for example.

Looks great installed. Quality, everything is great-I'd 100% recommend Ivan. It does help that I'm a couple of miles away from him and could bop on down and pick mine up. I'm totally stoked with the purchase too. Well worth it.

The quality and build of the wheel is great.

First oil change on my 19 CTR. 7975 on the odometer. Used Mobil 1 EP 0W-20 and a Mobil 1 Extended Performance Filter and new Crush Washer. I had the famous OEM filter leak when I removed the shield. Also did wheel rotation while I was at it.

First off, looks great, really like how it all looks together.

Do you have something over the center section at the bottom of the wheel, or is that just the lighting? Almost looks like it has a matte finish. I hate how prone that area is to fingerprints and been considering wrapping it with something.

Also, how well does the carbon fiber on the wheel match the factory trim? I've been considering a new wheel, but I'd like it to match the other interior materials. Was thinking about doing carbon and alcantara on the sides where yours is red leather.

The CF has a matted finish; I don't have anything over the center section of the bottom of the wheel. The CF weave on the wheel is a little smaller than that on the interior trim (fake CF). While the large blocks kind of stand out on the stock interior trim, the individual fibers of the CF shimmer in the hard interior lighting. I'll have a look at it during the daytime since lighting can change a lot of stuff. At night you don't really nice any of the CF (interior or wheel) while driving.

Idiot hit it while it was parted. Hit and run.

installed Optix Autolabs clear switchback side markers. The turn signal feature is awesome.

This wheel looks amazing! Also, do you have LED interior lighting? If so what brand?
