And do you mean that you purchased the wheel and had it wrapped for $450, or did you send them your own wheel and have them wrap it for that price?
It's fantastic. Changes the feel of the car entirely. The stock wheel is cheapo leather compared to the stuff dc uses, so the added thickness combined with the nicer leather (think audi's uprated leather [valcona iirc?] and you're in the right territory,) is terrific.

The price was about $450 including the wheel itself.

The above said, I'm nuts and dropped a grand on a carbon fiber, flat bottomed (CFE-style, but a little more aggressive) wheel recently, so I'll actually be selling this one over the next few days.

Do you have your new wheel installed yet? Look forward to pics of that one. I'm betting the wheel in the pic^^ will be sold within a few hours of when you list it, wish I could pounce on that one, looks great!

Brad, the CF isn't installed yet but it looks SWEET! The pictures don't do it justice. It was heavier than I thought it would be but I got to handle it on Monday when I was picking up interior parts. Very, very nice!
