Alcantara Steering wheel?

Anyone know where we can get Alcantara steering wheels for our car? i am looking for the wheel itself, not the middle to be in Alcantara. also, i hate the flat bottom wheels. cant seem to find anything out there.

I had one made by a company that specializes in re-finishing E46 comp package steering wheels- if came out perfectly. PM if your interested and I'll dig up the thread.

Also keep an eye on the interior for sale section in the M3 forum. I remember seeing a few recovered wheels for sale in the last couple months. As you probably know, they are a direct bolt on for our cars.

You could look up Coby Wheel. I used him for my E46 M3. He is well respected in the E46 community. He added a layer of padding to the wheel to get it close to the 1M's thickness. I'm happy with the quality for the price I paid. He usually works on a core-swap principle but you could send him your wheel and get the same one back. Quick turn around.
