Of course you'd say get the ///M wheel, M.
There WILL be a few hours in between each of those three shots!

LOL I don't even have it. Like I told you the other day, I like how the trim piece on my sport wheel matches the rest of the interior trim too much to change.

Wow, very nice!
Would this mod alter airbag deployment in any way?

you have heated steering wheel as well right? Was just wondering if there was a special setup for this?

EDIT: read the thread. It's not heated. Mind me asking how much you paid - and is the airbag real or is it a cosmetic - if so how much?

So I found an ///M wheel on e46fanatics.com and the seller agreed to sell it to me. I sent him partial payment to hold the wheel until tomorrow when I could sell him the rest ($65 sent, $250 remaining). He agreed to the transaction and I sent him the 'hold' payment. This happend around 11am. At 11.30am he sends me an email and returns my payment saying someone else paid him immediately and paid a "premium".

Do i have a right to be pissed? somehow i don't think anyone on this board would have done this during a transaction... they would have at least emailed me back and said - listen, someone else offerd me $xx - can you match it etc? or tell me u want payment today / immediately etc - or say if i dont send by noon tomorrow as agreed you reserve the right to sell to someone else.

I'm mad cuz i thought i had my ///M SMG wheel.. the one i originally wanted LOL. And the only reason i registered to that forum.

$315 is a great deal on one of these wheels - next time lock it in with a full payment. But yes, your right, a deal is a deal. I'd be pissed also!

Yeah - had to pay some bills bla bla..

He claims in the 20 minutes he waited for a response to his email saying it was 300 + $15 shipping someone sent full payment. and he wasn't sure if i would agree to $15 shipping. WTF. I shouldn't have went to the bathroom I guess..LOL

Well - definitely next deal that comes up i'm jumping on it. I have a sports SSG wheel I can get for $200, may just go with that, since I like the sports wheel as well.
