It is really nice!!

For anyone hopping to find a similar wheel (though never as intrinsically cool as a real startech wheel) and not wanting to wait around for a real startech to show up. Ivan at DCT MS Products who makes some amazing custom steering wheels for sports cars (mercedes, porsche, etc) told me he would redo/rewrap a crossfire wheel so that it is gripped the same as a Startech wheel (and add the cut-outs for the paddles) for around $850. A little more if you want carbon fiber and/or a flat bottom.

an option some may want to consider,
Chris
