Say core one more time. ROFL
CoRe!
Can u guys tell me what this thing is actually called..... I totally forgot
Core
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your honesty was appreciated and the information is genuine so you sir got yourself another subscriber
There’s never been a time where I assumed trim and buttons would be included with a Wheel replacement. Specifically cf. but that’s just me.
Unless of course they put up a photo of a fully CF wheel with the lower price attached.
@@raymonddsouza8948 yes. But they usually don’t. And if they do there are drop down option that let you choose that. I mean that’s how you order a custom steering wheel or you contact the company and ask. He clearly did that but after he received the wheel. Sounds like it was rectified though. Personally I like the grips without the cf inserts on the leather portions.
Most companies say in the description that the wheel doesn’t come with the controls or air bag
Definitely ontime for this video bc I've been looking at carbon fiber steering wheels online.
Glad you put this video out i been looking at carbon fiber wheels for my hellcat for awhile now and the fact you have to wait so long for an unfinished product i know the feeling
😂🤣 "Theres no V down at the bottom".... pause!!! I thought you were going to say something dirty right after!! 🤣🤣
I definitely thought about cracking jokes. Lol
What's up guys! Definitely give this video a big THUMBS UP and comment down below to get people seeing this so no one else has the same outcome when ordering a custom carbon fiber steering wheel! Thanks and enjoy the video!
Loved the video as always and the core is a nice design and it looks nice but I do wish the company you bought it from was honest and told you what it was going to look like and asked if you wanted a fully finished wheel
Thanks for the help man and great vid
Car looking good! Great info on the wheel.
That is expensive I believe. I purchased a core for my GT350 for $350 out the door with a first time discount. It was time consuming to move the airbag center and buttons/trim over mostly because it wasn’t a perfect fit on the bottom back part. But it came out alright and I’m happy with it. It’s like yours on the 3/9 o’clock area. I’m glad it did because it’s hot where I live and the top part gets really hot when sitting outside. So, I can grip around the sides of the wheel for the first few minutes of driving and not burn my fingers.
Did you figure out how to disable the seat belt & airbag warnings after changing the seats?
Yup, needed this video! Thanks, dgp!
Absolutely, always trying to look out for you guys. Glad you enjoyed it.
Whats up hope you’re doing ok good to see you back stay home safe bro
Loved the video famm definitely subscribed 💯💯💪🏽
If I buy one and it says it’s for a 2015-20 model charger/challenger will it fit a Chrysler 300 2016 model?
do they hold up? does it just start to fray the stitching? is it quality or am I going to have the leather falling off a year after I get it?
Lol man thanks for making this video. I wanted a LED light steering wheel for when I got myself a 2020 SS camaro 1LE. Now I want a 392 and thanks for this info man I appreciate. This video.
Anytime my dude! Glad you found it helpful!
Hey Brother. Great video. While I have had a similar experience i eventually worked it out. Great info for rookies. Everyone has a different opinion about the feeling of the wheel but I like the perforated leather or Alcantara at the 3 and 9 position. I gather u like the CF feel 👌
Good info sir...I’m glad I watched before ordering one.
Video helped me out. Ended up getting a core and putting stock steering functions. More cheaper and let's me know 100% functions will work.
What company did you end up using for the finished wheel?
When you get the other wheel could you possibly show what it would look like with the stock pieces if it's not to much of a hassle I personally would like to see if it's worth it 🥴
DG, sorry you got ripped brother!! Hopefully they make it right!! Thanks for saving us little guys $900!!
When your hands sweat does it makes it hard to do a u turn? Do you ever notice your hands slipping?
ive been shopping these and i had no doubt is was a core only.. but i research everything to death before buying most anything expensive
im also a guy same type with you. when i heard some car drop/shift gear. i will keep silent and feel the sound 😂😂😂
Are those from SoCal garage works by chance and if so, are they a good product ?
Props out for being a true car guy and respecting tha stang rev . I see your a dodge guy. All good bro. They are all beautiful beasts in my book. Thanx for tha info.
Thanks for the info was looking for one myself
Vqcarboncustoms.com
That looks very nicely made
Thank you for the heads up,, bigfan now
Do you know the name of/where u got that carbon wrap on your hood?
Do u still have the heated steering wheel ?
We're did you get the diamond floor mats
Great advice!
Btw ...did you get a new wheel center cap as well?
I know you said your not saying what company can u say yes or no was it carbon cartel looking at getting one and would like to know if they are any good
I purchased mine from carbon city customs and they let you completely customize every little detail and let you chose if the trims and buttons come with it
Is the wheel itself any smaller than OEM?
Thank you for the video
Saved me a big headache!!!!! 🙌🏼
Im early damn but the wheel looks real good, even though its half a wheel.
Anybody know anything about carbon cartel? Thinking about getting one made from them soon....
Cool,nice hood!
You know when I ordered a wheel the company was very plain about what you were getting in the fact that you'll be transferring your buttons in your own trim if you do not purchase their trim. They were also very obvious about if you wanted the factory heating to work you would have to figure out the wiring from the four wires they give you because it will not be Plug and Play. I can understand getting ahead of oneself but always read the fine print.
I’m expecting a core.. I paid 200 though and it is now for sale for 700 by the same seller. I think they messed up, but we will see what I get for 200.
Thank you for the video ....Mr Core
Don’t see the problem, this wheel looks great on my Shelby with oem controls, don’t like using different controls
Revsol sells these for $450, a core. lots of cars gr8 vid
Kinda wish I saw this video before... I payed 700 for the core with the led which I think is a steal but would’ve liked a complete wheel
Is that a core?
Sorry if you mentioned this, Do you lose the heated steering wheel function?
Depends, if you go with Zen Carbon then you can select the option to keep the heated steeringwheel function
I Dare ANYONE to take a shot everytime he says "Core".......... And see you if you can Walk 5 feet without falling.....😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣.
I've heard this from a few people. I decided to go with a factory Alcanteria wheel from a Redeye for my ScatWB. Picked it up for less than 1/2 and it feels great in the hand.
Troy Bacon where did you buy the red eye steering wheel?
And its heated. The only thing tho is alkantera will not last long - especially on a sterring wheel
@@blackice7408 It will if you clean it properly and make sure your hands are clean
Were did u find the parts listing? I wanna order the oem carbon fiber dash that was show cases in the new 2020 charger
Also... The New Wheel does "NOT" have the two holes in the back for the removal of the Air bag for Future wheel removal !
Thanks for your help 👍. GOD BLESS.
That’s dumb why would it come with all the buttons and airbag just move them over
Dam, Definitely feel like they left a lot out on the steering wheel brother, I love that hood/ all the carbon fiber touches💯, for some reason I'm not getting all the videos from your channel and I have been with you since almost the beginning, it's set to get all but this is the first one I got in a long time. It kinda sucks brother, your car looks so Awesome 💯💪🏻🇺🇸, love the channel I will just keep looking out and go back through to see which ones I didn't get, Peace brother stay strong 🇺🇸
CZcams literally punishes channels that aren't super consistent with uploads. You either make it a job or they punish you. 🤦♂️ Shits awful. Appreciate the support all the way through my guy. You the MVP!
Do they have them for 350z
Completely agree!!
Does the heated steering wheel function work with a custom wheel
There are companies out there that offer heated options.
Where’s the video of the new steering wheel?
Very good video. I take your advise of being transparent.
If u want a daily, but still kinda sporty, and if u want a truck, get a 2 door short bed ram 1500 with the 5.7 HEMI!
I need something better on fuel than the challenger. I drive 70ish miles a day for work so looking to save money in fuel not make it worse. 🤣
Thanks A LOT 😎🥃
that hood does look sexxxy!!! hey have you thought about getting that protective film on your windshield (line on cell phone screens)?? I'm thinking of doin that on my BMW 135i (on a side note : I was born in Portland so when you mentioned Jansen Beach I remembered how much it changed cause I was back there in '05..) 🤣🤣
On a serious note. Thanks for the info man. I'm getting one but. I'm getting mine done by Jaliscos Carbon fiber. He does the whole thing
ClearPlex That Windshield!!!!Lmao😅
$900 for the entire wheel complete that’s pretty cheap . I mean it’s a completely custom wheel with carbon fiber and perforated leather miles above the factory item… it’s definitely meant to just put your factory parts on the custom wheel I’m pretty sure they implied this on their website…. Since you don’t mention the brand it’s hard to know for sure.
, you take your parts off OEM WHEEL they look prettt good too
Idk how you don’t see that they’re just the pure wheel. Most people overpay tho I got one for $620 🤷🏻♂️
Which company was this?
Keep in mind u can swap all the stuff from ur original wheel
How did you swap?
fully custom ordered my wheel for my Fiesta ST which is my no corners cut, nothing left on the table, it cost my $1500 total. Still waiting for it to be finished being made. Will post a vide when it comes in.
Paid way too much!
@@beansr7556 I paid $2k for my setup, mines more then a wheel though, paddles, knob, airbag cover, fully done up wheel with heat and everything I could have done to it. Bought my first wheel from VLM for $1.3k and quality control was a mess with it. Bought my 2nd wheel from a different manufacturer that has higher QC and I paid more but got a nicer setup. Vehicle make and model can also impact price as well.
Not as expected but looks real good.
thanks for sharing the info. i just put a down payment down to have 1 started for my zl1 camaro and seeing this made me ask to make sure i wasn't getting ripped.
Vqcarboncustoms.com
It is good you only paid $ 800.. I just saw a steering wheel for $ 1150!
I just don't understand the overpricing of these parts.
Dyna Perfomance did that to me
Another thing with these aftermarket wheels is that they have no access hole to remove the airbag later on down the road.
Usually these are modified oem steering wheels. So it's weird they don't have the holes like the oem ones do.
they must have an access hole cause how are you going to screw in the airbag to secure it to begin with no access makes no sense. They use stock mechanism
Why not tell us where you got the core?
You better jump on that big rock chip, it’s starting to run already. Still love the color just doesn’t show dirt, unless you get up close.
It just got hit on Friday and I haven't driven the car since. It literally did that from the rock hit. Shit was brutal! It's getting fixed on the 17th. Earliest they couldnl do it.
Destroyer Grey Productions Good luck. I got a chip on the far passenger side, took it to get fixed...it ran while they were fixing it.🤦♂️ I kept hoping it would u turn or go down, but no it went straight across. It’s about 3/4 across the windshield now. So, Rock chips happen. 👍
Nice core
why you didn't name the company you bought it from
What is it called again?
*CORE*
Depends on the seller....I'm getting a custom wheel made with the trim pieces done for $600...
from?
@@alihammad4213 carbon mafia out of Miami
@@tcblackg35 how is it ?
@@ZinFTW turned out awesome. I have pictures on Instagram tc_blackg35
You can get them fully built you just send your old wheel back to them
This is socal where he bought it.
That steering wheel is aggressive as hell 🇺🇸🇺🇸
The new ones gonna be 🔥🔥🔥
HI-REV offers wheels for camrys with buttons included, carbon fiber and all. for less than $600. just saying.
some good information but some companies do offer everything
That hat🔥🌲
I’m going to make a video about how to properly curl a hat
Thats the core
My doooood
But it still looks nice
I just ordered my steering wheel!
From who?
Either socal or vicrez
@@InnoV8Official just some guy in Poland that make them. It turned out excellent!
Let me guess, you ordered from dyna performance?
Could be
These are aftermarket steering wheels, not customized steering wheels. I have contacted 4 manufacturers and none will do a custom wheel. What you see it what they offer. All I want is turn signal indicator on my wheel because my wheel hides the ones on the dashboard. No sir, we don't make that.
