Idea for accesssory - brushed alu trim wheel

I really whish they had this. Very cheap to make and install (those plastic things can be easily snapped off). See picture below.

What y'all think? This is only for the non sport stearing wheel. Funny because the car in the picture has sports seats !

Thanks
Skimo

They have those aluminum pieces for the sport steering wheel...I don't think it's available in the US, but I've seen them on EU cars.

Saab's actually using this detailing on their 9-3 Aero, same exact spot, and it looks quite nice. I'd have to actually see it on the bimmer wheel to make a judgment, having trouble imagining it...

Would a tri wheel like that look good with only two alum inserts? I would think it would lose some balance (aesthetically) and there just isn't a way a third one would look good on the bottom

In europe you can choose all options seperately

So if you want sport seats you can just spec sport seats

Only one thing could tell for sure...anyone here with photoshop skills?

I tried to play with photoshop, then I realized that I am better off fabricating the real deal than making a picture of it....
