performance wheel, happy with it?

I'm thinking about the performance wheel, getting one before they are gone.

Everyone happy with them? Are they too much in your face? united has them on sale again for 995 this month.

PS to be honest all I really want out of the performance wheel is the integrated shift lights, if there were cheaper aftermarket solutions those would probably work just fine for me

I love mine. I was just getting a little sick of getting mods that I can't see while driving and I really have fun with the G-meter .

My buddy just got it. I dig it. The material is beautiful and the white stitches are classy. Plus, you get a built in g-tech pretty much. I say go for it

I spoke to someone who has one and he told me that initially you end up looking at the steering wheel and playing with settings rather than the road so had a few moments nearly crashing!

Now he has had it for a few months, he doesn't take much notice of it now and said once the novelty wears off, money could have been better off spent elsewhere.......

I was kinda afraid that would happen, it's one of the only mods for our cars that I can see being rare and hard to get later if you dont get one now though

I just got mine installed last weekend and its a great tool to have in the car. Although I would like it to have more functions included for the price we are paying. Don't know if its worth a grand.
