I really like them and am happy to be a dealer. I am particularly found of the black anodize versions

Meh. Not feeling them at all.

I'm with DarkNova... but then again I lean more towards a modern, sporty pro tourer look than the stereotypical "hot rod", "baby boomer" pro tourer look... (there are always exceptions to the rule though)

The steering wheels look very cool; nice modern designs.

What I don't like is the $259.95 (polished) or $299.95 (black) price followed by: Price shown is for steering wheel only. Complete steering wheel installs require a Steering Wheel, Half-Wrap, Horn Button, & Steering Column Adapter.

By time you get all the pieces to make it fit, you're probably looking at $500 or more.

I like the black anodized, esp. the "Throttle". But like Yelcamino said at >$500 for the package deal I might just have to keep my Momo.

This one is pretty sexy. The chrome/aluminum look not so much. I have the momo nero:

If I'm depending on my grip to sling a car around a tight race course, I think I'd want something other than a "half wrap" with an exposed aluminum back side. Those Billet wheels are for show, not for go.

I really like the new Shutt ZX-1, I picked one up from their booth at SEMA for super cheap on Friday afternoon. The contruction and feel are top notch.

I have a billet half wrapped wheel on my Chevy II. Grip isn't a problem and I have a manual rack-n-pinion. How to properly turn the wheel is usually my problem.

They're ok. I'd like to see what a brushed finish would look like on the Boost and Draft. Don't like too much shiny stuff.

I'd be afraid to have a half-wrap billet wheel after the car is parked in the sun for a little while.
A friend keeps a towel over his aluminum grip shifter, which turns into a branding iron.
Some of those wheels look great, I am just not convinced they are any more functional. JMO

My thoughts exactly!!

Especially here in the southwest (Las Vegas summers!!)
