Ok, I also drove around town with this steering wheel. It is good. Yes. I hate the flat bottom but since I don't actually see it while I'm driving around I will be able to live with it.
It may be a bit too thin at 9 and 3 but that's not too bad either since I have pretty small hands.

The flat bottom, the points where the sections meet and so on give you quite good points of reference while driving. The stitching imperfections (see a few posts above) luckily are not in any point of contact between the hands and the wheel, so I made peace with these imperfections as well.

Overall it is definitely better than the OEM, even if it's not as perfectly stitched as the OEM. I rate it 8 out of 10 (the OEM being about 6 - good part, good finish, quality material, but totally unsuitable for a sport car model even if it's good for a regular 3). Good job @CorkSport! And thank you!

You don't by chance smell like cabbage as well, do you? All sillyness aside, thanks for the all feedback you've posted on the wheel. Based on this, I have high hopes for the eventual pu version. I hate the pu steering wheel, by far the worst in any car I have owned.

CorkSport, I have cash to throw at you as soon as it's ready.
