He will make the steering wheel to your exact specifications. He was 40% cheaper than other places I've used and the quality was as good or better.

For example here is what I ordered for my 996TT:
Tri-Tone - Solid Black Leather Lower, Suede Upper, Perforated Leather Sides
Silver Stitching
Added Thickness 1/8" all the way around
Horizontal Panel Cuts
Orange Leather Motorsport Ring at 12:00


if you dont mind me asking what did the job for your M3 steering wheel cost and with what materials? was going to send an email to DCSW upon seeing your pics and get a quote to redo my pre-facelift sport wheel, and perhaps send in my shift knob/e-brake assembly as well!

I was just looking to get it thicker, with some thumb grips added, perfed leather cut horizontal like your wheel above in the middle portions, and regular black leather on top and bottom.
