Coby steering wheel

So there have been many posts about Mike’s amazing work wrapping steering wheels over the years across many forums and I just wanted to give Mike and Coby Wheels props for such high quality work, especially for the price and how quickly it was ready.

This wheel is the F3x option as they are the same part # as F2x.
I optioned for black alcantara with black stitching and a charcoal 12 o’clock stripe as I’m trying to keep my car relatively muted. I think the result is fantastic and I’m looking forward to getting it installed early next week.

It is thicker by 2mm all-around. It’s not a big deal to me but for those of you who are curious about that, there it is.

$250 to have it made. $300 core exchange fee before being shipped. Return the used wheel after install and you’ll get that back.

Yes, heated wheels will still work.

It'd be nice if there was a high quality leather option. I'm not a fan of alcantera for a daily because of how they wear long-term if you don't wear gloves.

agreed. Everyone else seems to sell tons of combos, with heated steering not working as the downside.

If these guys could do so, and retain heated steering, I'd buy one right away.

Installed. Can’t beat this for the price … when it wears out, I’ll just spend another $250 in a couple years.
