Hi, When you go for customized wheels - the sky is the limits. There are 1-2 guys I do know who are able to provide really crazy excellent customized products which I will post here now and then. This is not a sales pitch, but just to show you what some crazy guys in the community are able to produce. The prices for the those customized wheels are easy over EUR 1'500.- It is not a question, if this is making sense or not, but just that some people are putting extensive time into their hobby. If you have questions - drop me a note. Roman Dirk Karnatz Here you see the last years (2016) original Aston Martin wheel for comparison... Dirk also produces some aluminium wheel holder which are looking amazing.

Asked Dirk, if he has a website or Facebook site, where we could see his stuff. He send me his google drive link with many, many pictures. Please enjoy and if you have questions, drop me a note. drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0B9Hl5AMtpHNvY1oyc1hRaXppbEU(Really take a look - probably several hundrets of fotos on this drive. Interesting especially if you are looking do make a wheel yourselve)

Very nice! the aston wheel he showed in the video clearly has the back and front covers are 3d printed. I'll reach out to him. I could see myself having lots of fun if he's selling just the metal plate with the handles. Everything else would be fun to build myself

Just what I was thinking. If I can't find any shop doing the plate for me, I'm definitely gonna give this guy a call!

Received my Sparco310 wheel a friend and I am really happy with the result. Will upload later a short Youtube link, because the paddles, push buttons and rotary switches sound just amazing.

Really saw some good wheels on Youtube or different forums, but this guy is probably the "Michelangelo" of wheel makers. Many are buidling excellent wheels, but the quality in the details he is doing, the materials he is using (e.g. buttons from military machines)is really insane.

Dont remember, but somebody from BAM asked me about the size. Had the wheel today in my hands and made a picture. So it is 30cm wide (like the original) and to be sure about the proportion just make a picture in iRacing of the AMG wheel. Then scale it that it is 30cm wide and you will have the correct and original height.

Wanted to use an old iPad as a JRT display instead of an additional monitor. Was looking for a way to mount this pad on my 80/20 somehow. Found this ebook reader mount on Ebay and it costs like EUR 12 and looks cheap on the picture. But it is build really more then OK, but more important the mounts works perfectly for any pad/ebook. So before you design something yourselves, this is a really affordable way to go. Ebay LinkEven if the DD is heavily shaking, it holds perfectly on its mounting clamp. No fears that the pad would fall or break somehow.
