I'm re-doing some stuff for the 2026 season. Here's the new wheel I just received last week.
Shift boot is Maars, so is the center arm rest, Ebrake boot, and the door arm rests
He doesn't typically offer 9002 on his steering wheels, it was a special request by me, and I had to twist his arm.Last edited by 9kracing; 01-01-2026, 07:52 AM.2004 Dinan S3-R M3

Thank you! It wasn't cheap lol
That shot makes it look tacky, I swear it looks much better in person. But still, the forged steering wheel was too much... that's going away for the new season.

The new wheel will compliment the rest of that interior perfectly. The quality from Maar looks on point.
When I resprayed the exterior of mine, I ran out of time to do the interior. It's fine for now, but completely stock. To some that's a plus I recognize...
Your interior with AW just looks so clean. Thanks for some inspiration.Build thread: Topaz Blue to Shark Blue​

It's about as good as you can get without going brand new OE wheel. If you reeeally scrutinize, you can find some differences, but they're inconsequential.Originally posted by Casa de Mesa View PostThe quality from Maar looks on point.
The biggest unknown is that the cores are used, so they could have some small blemishes.

+1 for Tanik, now known as:
Bought a redone e36 m3 steering wheel from him about 10 years ago, and a few odds and ends over the years since then. His name is Dimitri, and he is also a great source for getting CSL parts still available from the dealer in Germany. I placed an order with him for some stuff about 3 weeks ago, and get them super quick considering. Great guy to work with.Originally posted by Casa de Mesa View Post

I can't keep up with the tariffs math so I just assume 25% give or take.
I did hear my favorite Italian pasta is about to get hit hard with tariffs and I'm just as PO'ed about that if not more.Build thread: Topaz Blue to Shark Blue​

I did not go through eBay. If you go through eBay, expect 15%
I personally did not pay any duty on my most recent shipment
