Oh no. Don't do this to me...

Do you have shift knobs for us 6MT owners?

Shift knobs didn't change for the facelift essentially, but if you wanted an S-Line manual knob and boot to match an S-Line wheel I can surely do something in with a steering wheel.

How long will this run?

[PitchS4]

Damn you Alex I hate these posts. How much time to I have to try to justify the expenditure?

Coming from a flat bottom in my old S4 the stock B8 wheel is so weenie. If only I had pulled it off the old car before posting for sale...

[Tweakophyte]

I noticed this has a "nav" button. I don't have that on my B8. Does it add that functionality (if so, how?), or does that become a dead button?

Thanks,

[Gweezil]

I can't take it any more. I'm in, PM sent. 4 more?

[Eurowerkes]

Can you include the TTRS steering wheel in the GB? Email sent

How much smaller are these face lift wheels compared to the oem one?

[[email protected]]

So many questions at once! I will list answers out:

Timeframe- When the purchase hits 5x buyers then a close date will be set. Likely a few days after we hit the 5x mark. So at the moment no close date is set.

Multi-Function Buttons- The function buttons will work just like yours do now, however the iNav function will not work with B8 models.

Size, Thickness, Diameter- These wheels are considerably thicker than stock, 5mm+ in the hand grip area. The wheels are smaller in diameter than stock. The facelift wheels are very similar in thickness and diameter to the original style flat-bottom wheels as well, in fact a hair thicker and a hair smaller in diameter.

Original Flat-Bottom Steering Wheels- Unfortunately these cannot be included with this purchase, however do PM or email requests and I will see what I can do on pricing for individual purchases.

I think that is everything. If anyone has anymore questions don't hesitate to post.

Looks like there may be 2-3x buyers confirmed my PM and inbox now. I will post on these threads to confirm the total number of buyers as the purchase progresses.

Unfortunately the S-Line is only offered with black and titanium stitching. The only red stitched facelift wheel is the S4 with smooth leather.

The only original thick style flat-bottom with red stitching is the R8 GT in alcantara. Red stitching is tough to come by unfortunately.

Does anyone have a picture of these new wheels and the OEM B8 ones side by side to compare how much smaller in diameter they are? I am interested, but not sure if it's small enough of a diameter to make a difference.

[[email protected]]

From quick measurement:

Facelift Flat-Bottom Diameter ~14.375"
B8 Round Steering Wheel ~15"

Almost 16mm less in diameter, but also be aware that the facelift wheel is a good 4-5mm thicker and the diameter measurement is overall. If you measured center line of the wheel rim you'd be looking at another 2-2.5mm less diameter on top of the 16mm.

Having installed these in earlier models I can say the diameter difference is considerable and the thickness increase is actually the best part of the upgrade.

Have a good weekend!

I thought the new shift knobs for the DSG are round?

For the S4 the facelift knobs are round. These being offered are A4 standard and S-Line which require no heat/twist modification of the shift pin.

What about a non-airbag pricing tier ?

5x buyer are confirmed so this pricing is now in effect.

The S4 steering wheel without paddles and silver stitching is SOLD OUT due to high demand on this wheel.

The facelift shift knob pricing is ONLY valid for group purchase participants. Otherwise the shift knobs are $149.50 for purchase separately.

This is the wheel I requested when I jumped in. Hope you have 5 others then I guess. Also hope that you will honor this pricing when they do come back in stock, or I swear I'll buy one from that guy in Czech. For cheap. And then regret it.

If you have confirmed already you have one of these wheels set aside for your order. If you have not confirmed then unfortunately at the moment it appears I cannot get you in. I will continue to push for more of those if needed.

That was the one I was interested in but honestly I was 50/50. This helps me stay on the side of the fence where my wallet is happier. Don't worry you will get me one of these times...

I wonder what people are getting for their stock pre-facelift wheel plus airbag. Is 500 a reality? Who is the market for them? A4 non-sport?
