Steering wheels, anyone running non-OE?

Post by Puggie » Thu Jul 09, 2020 4:39 pm

I've peeled the wheel in my RS6 as it has gone green and furry from being sat. Are there any alternatives before I go and buy some black perf hide to retrim it?

I know there was a rather less stylish 4 spoke option, but anyone ventured further and fitted something different, TT wheel etc?

Have seen a few on eBay recently but they are not cheap.
I like my 3 spoke. But lots of people prefer 4 spoke.
Down to personal choice.

4 spoke FTW. That way it’s like you had a full options RS6. ;)

Just imagine a baboon’s ass painted grey with 12 buttons on it.

A nice, warm baboon’s ass that heats up in winter.

12 buttons. So it’s a female steering wheel. Think I will stick with a mans wheel !
Never knew there was an option.
But now that I know that they look like a baboons ass on heat.
No thank you !

Audi have always been crap at steering wheels. They could learn a thing or two from Aston Martin.

Now you’re talking Shop. Stunning cars.
But having to wear a black suit, tie and carry a beretta is a negative in my book.
And the mi6 number plate could be mistaken for a m6 number plate.
To be fair to Audi. My 17 year old wheel still looks and feels like new.
Haven’t had to test out the airbag as yet. Hopefully it will still work if needed.

Hope I can sleep tonight.
