Both look really aftermarket

Better off to just get OEM Alcantara one or just keep leather one with mperf or autoteknik insert

its ok to look like aftermarket, BMW OEM's look too boring for my taste. My goal is to make the interior less boring and dull.

There’s aftermarket, then there’s the “performance” aisle at advance auto parts.

the second one looks better, keep in mind when ordering from these sites that it takes weeks to get to you and if you are not happy with the product you will need to cover the return shipping back to Taiwan.

We offer the same steering wheel, ready to ship, with a warranty for $50 more

I actually saw the $420 wheel on your site, but its $699 before any tax & shipping. I couldnt figure out my order total without filling out and going thru the whole check out process.

Lol clearly aap doesn't carry neither of these wheels. I think your perception of AAP "performance" is basically anything that doesn't come with a bmw oem price tag or higher. If its a performance part, i dont mind dishing out real money, but since its cosmetic im willing to give generic brands a try.

look again bro, your flat bottom is more similar to the $420 one, except yours look a little thicker. (see attachment)

if i miss it, please link to the one that looks like the $650 on your website, I might consider copping it too.

This is the one you have link for $647
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001540336530.html

its flat bottom, center gloss carbon, side perforated leather
We have that one with a red or white stripe for $699

You missed my point, im not trying to say we are cheaper than China. We are not as our steering wheels are worked on in the US

My point is to say, you will get better quality from the US, with a warranty you can use without requiring to pay hundreds of dollars to send the item back for a very reasonable price.

i think you're the one whos not understand me bro. i'm saying that the one from your website looks more like the $420 one. I said if you have the one that looks like the $650 one from aliexpress, i might consider copping from you. obviously your price gonna be a little higher than aliexpress but if it's only $50 more i don't mind.

I believe the seller offers it in perforated leather too. I was going to go that route, but went alcantara to tie in my alcantara/cf shift surround and alcantara ebrake boot.
