Which steering wheel for my subie?

It's the same wheel in both case, just one has a possibly cheesy carbon top but I can't tell if I like it or not. Wheel is smaller in diameter than stock, thicker than stock, retains center airbag and outer controls for radio, cruise, etc. It's not black, more like dark grey like the stock wheel - I love the subaru aftermarket lol

nothing really, it's just kind of large in diameter - feels like I am driving a bus when the wheel in my Lotus is 300mm

I also just wanted as much of a flat bottom as I can get so when I change out the seats it's easier to get in (prolly throwing in Sparco 2000's)

I like the all leather one too. The partial carbon and leather one kind of clashes.

leather it is! I am not planning any carbon on the inside of the car so I think that's the way to go

Thumbs up

The all leather one looks super sick. Do they make one with a smaller wheel diameter similar to our Lotus wheel? If so, there should be a group buy setup made for you guys.
