This is the one I have been looking to buy for many years now, just waiting/hoping for it to be reduced to 40/50% off: https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-T2R4641PVJ |
Many thanks for the fast reply Oz!.
I saw the items on your link but it has no heating while mine has it. Anyway, a bit thicker huh? I should go on! Thank bro. |

I swapped the standard wheel in my car to the flat bottom sport steering wheel, best thing I ever did. The sport wheel feels so much better in hand (it's definitely thicker all around) and it really enhances the driving experience. The standard wheel does not belong on this car, it's just too plain and skinny.

The other nice thing about the flat wheel is that it gives you a bit more leg room when you get in and out.

Hello Taeuck,
I have a Type 400 with the "flat bottom" steering wheel. It is certainly thicker than the standard steering wheel. Hope this helps, Frank. |
Definitly hepls old man like me to get in and out, but really just like the way it looks.

Do these wheels come with the paddles and the audio and control buttons?

Any coding required, or a straight swap? (forgetting about potentially retrofitting heated steering)

If your question means: When installed does the flat-bottom wheel have the paddles and the audio/cruise controls installed? the answer is YES. If the question means: does a new, uninstalled wheel include those controls? The answer is NO. You transfer the controls to the new wheel, unless you buy a used one which includes the controls.

Thank you Frank .
really help . Thank you! I need to go to Ebay for purchase. |
If it has a flat bottom, should it not be called something other than a wheel?
"Wheel definition is - a circular frame of hard material that may be solid, partly solid, or spoked and that is capable of turning on an axle." I propose that the steering implement with a flat spot in an otherwise circular object that is used to directionally control an automobile be called a Pointer. |

I'd still like to know if a new wheels is plug and play... assuming like for like. |

I think it's called so because it's a contraption steering the wheels (those round things upfront with tyres) :D :D

Sorry to raise this again, but I think I've found a flat bottomed wheel which comes with no trim, buttons etc, but it is heated
My current wheel isn't heated and I don't plan to retrofit this as it sounds like a real hassle. But if I transfer my paddles\buttons\trim etc will it still be plug and play?? Or is it physically a different fit on the steering column? Part number is T2R20989PVJ |
