Socal GarageWorks Carbon Fiber Steering wheel

I see you also didn't get your 9 and 3 position wrapped.

I did not. Doesn’t bother me a bit though

I think it would bother me but maybe it won't if I see it in person. I already told the company that's doing mine to add it but it will be a separate piece, which I think that might still even bother me lol...but maybe not too much since at least it will be wrapped.

The other thing is for some reason my wheel won't have the bumps towards the inner bottom of the wheel like yours and others in this thread. It looks a little more aggressive and I like it.

I'm just too particular and picky though, I'll admit. Sucks to order a wheel that's pictured one way, and it's made in another, though.

@dhminer what is it with driving gloves that you don’t like about it for track use?

I received my wheel and installed the other day. Attached are some pics.

Just don’t like how it feels compared to the grip you get from leather on leather. It’s not slippery, but I like the feeling that my hands are stuck to the wheel.

A little red ST to add some color

where did you get the red ST emblem? I made my stitching and emblem orange to match the seats but I think I wish I had the emblem done in red, even with the stitching in orange. I just installed the Ford carbon fiber shift knob where the ST emblem is red. And I didn't realize until after I received my wheel and installed it that the ST emblems right on the seats are also red. So there's already a mix of orange and red. Probably should've made it the same way on the wheel. But I could probably get a red emblem and stick it over top of it like yours.


I also just noticed that your steering wheel is not carbon fiber on the portion where you put that emblem, like mine is. Same as OP. I guess Socal always does it that way. I purchased mine from TTDCraft.
