The steering wheel is Alcantra/leather wrapped done by FVD I believe. Once you try it you wont go back. I cant believe you guys havent seen a steering wheel like that before.

IDC, most of us have seen FVD steering wheels before, but what I think everyone's comments are about is the fact that the alcantara looks like it was poorly wrapped. If you notice the wrinkles in the pix, it looks weird. If you look at a factory 911 GT3RS alcantara steering wheel, they're nice and smooth without any odd wrinkles, so it's not the material, just poor workmanship. If I purchased one and got that, I'd probably send it back to them. I'm sure it feels great, it just looks a bit tacky when you consider that's like a $1000 steering wheel.

actually after further inspection, I'm not sure that your wheel is from FVD. It might be, or it might have been a stock wheel that was sent in to them to wrap. I think that it might be a stock wheel just re-wrapped, hence the stock airbag cover.Here's a few pix of genuine FVD wheels and the quality just doesn't look the same, on the FVD, you can tell the quality is second to none. I'm not so sure FVD would let a wheel with all those wrinkles leave their factory. Also missing is the Horn Buttons, but I know not all of their wheels have them. But regardless, it's a great car, good luck with the sale!
