Question: About 340mm Leather Steering Wheel

Is anyone familiar with Carnewal steering wheel? Qaulity, fit, comfortable, etc?

I have yellow stitched black leather and this steering wheel would definitely make a nice addition.... thoughts?

Do any board sponors carry this wheel? Or, must I order directly from Carnewal?

I have the 340mm from FVD. I love the size, much smaller and thicker than stock

I have a Raid 340mm Daytona wheel. Nice size, nice quality, bought it from Carnawal.
Does anyone know who makes the steering wheel that is extra fat? I have seen it but don't know the manufacturer. Much thicker than other aftermarket wheels.

Did you just simply order yours from Carnewal online through their website? How long did it take to arrive?

I bought it from Carnawal as part of a group buy on Rennlist. The order came in about 2.5 weeks because the wheel goes from Germany{manufacturer} to Belgium{Carnawal} to the USA. Very high quality steering wheels. BTW, my bank declined to authorize the sale, in Euros, until I called them and gave them the OK. It's some security alert in the credit card division. Carnawals told me it often happens if you don't normally do business in Euros. Just a heads up in case it happens to you.

I have the silver/perforated FVD version an I really like it. The smaller diameter is definitely more sporty and increases effort just enough.

You need the hub. I have the same wheel as Ari, except it is all leather. Same manufacturer, different vendor brand labels. Atiwe makes them.

Ari - does the silver get too hot for your hands in the summer sun?

I'm thinking the same wheel and am concerned about the temps...
