I ended up shelling out to get the steering wheel. Total cost was $268, and I got it in yesterday. I was pretty surprised with it. The adapter is made of billet aluminum (75 bucks) and is very nice. The steering wheel (15") is much lighter than the formula france (13") wheel that I had on previously. I like the Empi wooden wheel, but am not sold yet on how durable it is going to last. Time will tell. My formula france style one was starting to turn pink as my wedding ring was wearing down the black leather revealing the pink underlayer.
