Custom all leather V2 steering wheel, help me decide on paddles.

DanMpower · 10-12-2019, 01:20 AM

Just received my custom M-Performance V2 steering wheel in full leather and red stripe, I didn't care for the Alcantara grips on my 1st V2 wheel but I LOVED the shape of it, this is now my perfect wheel.

Now I purchased 2 sets of paddles, Mode Auto and Paddleshifterz. Can't decide which set I like better, for now, I'm rocking the Paddleshifterz. Tell me what you guys think.

Mode Auto on the left and Paddleshifterz on the right.

Nice and thick, just how I like 'em.

Wheel looks great. I was hoping to find a V2 shape wheel in all leather. I have the V2 with the alcantara and it works for me now.

Who wrapped this for you?

Curious, are you able to use the heating feature with this wheel now?

As for the paddles, I'd say since they both look good choose which ones feel better to you.

I bought it from a German seller on eBay, since it's based off the M-Performance V2 wheel it doesn't have heat function either.

The Paddleshifterz feel better especially at the tips when clicking but I think I like the way the Mode Autos look a little bit more.

I would choose the one that feels better since you won't be looking at it too much and no one else will really see them. You will be feeling them every time you shift with them. Also if I had to choose one, I personally prefer the look of the ones you think feel better. Goodluck with your decision.

Wow that is a thick wheel. Could be the pictures. You have a side shot of it.

Do you have a link to the German seller on eBay? I'm interested in a similar steering wheel.

Yeah, his name is darko_online on eBay.

Tell him you want the F-series M-Performance V2 in all leather, he can also do perforated, Alcantara and whatever stripe color you like. Quality is just like OEM.

I think the picture makes it look extra thick, its slightly thicker than the OEM wheel but feels oh so good.

The Mode Auto paddles look much more substantial & I would think they would yield more positive shifting over the Paddleshifterz - I'm liking them
