My steering wheel has the little annoying line but I’m not sure if that’s a flaw. I guess it is.

Yep, it seems like all airbag covers have the famed "tube-steak vein".

Wow! . Long wait is over! Stopped to post a couple pics before getting home. Will write first impressions later.

Congrats fellow Devon picker-upper. Can’t wait to see powder coating. Satin black?

just picked up mine today, don't see the line. maybe not looked closely enough?

I have had zero luck today reaching the Matthews(Charlotte), NC store. Nobody answered. I don’t know if I’ll fly commercial with COVID. I may have it sent to Florida for $500 or cancel. First World Problems

Which plaid config did you end up getting?

Take a picture of the yoke, then look at that. The "vein" will "pop"!

Yikes! I am afraid to.

@Laddcruzer Did you happen to stop by The Driveway for your wheel install?
These guys told me a plaid stopped by a few minutes ago, i connected the dots and thought it might be you.

Currently in progress. Crazy how the wheels look different in diff light.

Yes sir, that was me. Kevin and his partners at The Driveway did me up right. Installed my 20” 9.5/10.5 SV104’s, Brushed Titanium, 265/40- 295/35 Michelin PS 4S. It might be a mental thing but the lighter forged wheels did seem more nimble and responsive than the Aracnids on the way home. So the “looks” are not the only thing I like. For everyone who is Jonse-ing to know, the Arachnids and tires do fit in the back of the MS. See picture and also pic of new Signature wheels.

Wow those look amazing. 20” wheels look ideal. 19” has a bit too much rubber and 21’s have a hit too much wheel.

it is actually not very visible in person. only shows up more in photos. i barely see mine.

Here, here!

After driving around today like a confused EV owner with 2 Aerocaps on and 2 off,
I think I prefer with the caps on but I’ll give it another day or two.

The brushed titanium finish looks great! Enjoy them in good health!

I agree 100%, the 19s have a bit too much rubber. In the looks department ehhh..
20s

I'm getting me some 23's and then I'll just ride the rails.

Let us know how the range is please.

Which plaid config did you end up getting?

I ordered the White/Black Wood Plaid with 19”s. I’m trying to decide if I should fly and drive home or have it shipped to Florida. Nobody answers the phone in Charlotte. I left a message with national for a call back. Shipping is $500.

I’d like to verify that location of the car and it’s condition before I go further—perhaps that’s not possible. We’ll see.
