Which finish?

TaKeN · 20 Feb 2010 at 19:47

Non-Perf looks best

Shimmyhill · 20 Feb 2010 at 19:47

I prefer perforated with the //M stitching.

Does this chap do any make wheels or just bimmers and how much is this costing ??

The first one with black stitching defiantly, the multi coloured stuff belongs on a Saxo well that’s maybe too far but not on a BMW, it just doesn’t suite the wheel and looks unprofessional, I presume the M cars don’t have this? Maybe its me but I don’t like the coloured stitching

Coloured stitching is standard on M cars, I guess everyone wants that which is why coloured stitching wheels are worth more and he has a ready supply of them. I'm not fussed either way but if they are worth more it seems daft not to incase I ever sell the wheel on or something. It wont look out of place because the interiors are the same M car v non M car, a lovely sea of black and silver or titanium :/

I prefer the second, but I think you should go for the first.

Perforated but with black stitching.

Perforated gives a "Xbox 360 steering wheel" look to it...

snowdog · 20 Feb 2010 at 19:55

I like the perforated more, but I'd be worried about dirt so I'd go for the regular one.

Settleddown · 20 Feb 2010 at 19:58

I'd have the second wheel but with black or silver stitching. The coloured stitching looks a bit tacky IMO.

Which pants should I wear for my hot date tomorrow?

The silky ones with love hearts, these are little too baggy and scrunch up around my waist.

The plain yellow pair, these are rather tight and emphasise my package rather well. They don't hide discharge stains too well though

Go for the standard one.

agw_01 · 20 Feb 2010 at 20:20

Perforated for me.

NickXX · 20 Feb 2010 at 20:24

OEM finish 100%.

GSXRMovistar · 20 Feb 2010 at 20:57

I perfer the perforated but i think the standard Nappa would suit your car best.

ajstan · 20 Feb 2010 at 21:00

Nappa would suit your car far better imo.

mrk · 20 Feb 2010 at 21:02

Perforated looks/feels better and adds contrast.

Re: Dirty holes comments, don't drive with dirty hands, you turds.

Also, link me to the refurb service!

86JR · 20 Feb 2010 at 21:07

LOL @ having it perforated in ///M colours, when your cars not an M5.

YorkshirePadd26 · 20 Feb 2010 at 21:08

Link needed for this service too me thinks,

That does look nice, but i think it could be down to the perfect lighting for the shot, rather than it looking that good all the time.

Dimpled with silver stitching if you're going to keep it, but for resale i'd say go for the coloured stitching.

Considering you've been nosing around for the next motor, is it worth further expenditure on the current car?
