I had the wood grain mid brown colour in my XD with the all grey interior brand is OBA and it looked trick, the colour didn't clash with the rest and looked schimko.

steve mcqueen 1,796 Posted April 1, 2015 Mark, i have that wheel in my Hyundai excel, its very comfy and does the job perfect. My wood grain wheel is close to the one you also have. I had to scan a pic into my pc as i dont have the car anymore but still kept the wheel and it was taken near 20 year ago. 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve mcqueen 1,796 Posted April 2, 2015 Didn't have the centre cap on for the pic mark for some reason. Still have that wheel to, it use to be on Nana until she got a defect for incorrect steer wheel and what not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nath 1,975 Posted April 7, 2015 Just got the new wheel. Started to install it then. Looks awesome with my interior! Only thing is whichever muppet drilled the holes in the boss kit to fit the steering wheel fucked up. One of the holes is slightly too small for the screw (all the others fit except this one). Not sure how I'm gonna work around that. Can't just force it in, seeing as some bright spark had the great idea of using alan headed screws. No way I can tighten it hard enough without either stripping the head or snapping the alan key. Might have to drill it out a bit more... Also, when you guys fitted your wheels, did you use the plastic piece that was behind the stock XD wheel? Or did you chuck it out. I left it on... Seems to be some kind of buffer between the wheel fitting and the spring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted April 7, 2015 I would undo all 6 screws and slowly tighten them all together, rather than fully tight on each individual if you under stand. It's a common thing, I'll be betting it's right once you do that. Mine was exactly the same, it just centers the wheel etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted April 7, 2015 What plastic bit? Photos help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nath 1,975 Posted April 7, 2015 All sorted! I did try that, also tried to make sure it wasn't cross threaded. Once that failed I took it off and just tried to put the screw straight into the boss kit by itself. Still no bueno. Ended up finding a screw in the garage with the same thread and tapping it out with that. Was still tight as hell with the new one (stripped an allen key and had to grind the end off and keep going) but got there in the end. It's on now. Not totally straight ("straight" pulls a bit left) but neither was the old one was it hasn't been for a proper wheel alignment yet. Matched it up to where the old one was as best I could. The plastic piece behind it was just a buffer for the spring I think, I left it on there. Went for a drive with it just then, soooooo much better. Feels much less boat like and I can actually get a seating position I like without hitting my legs on the wheel. Not even that bad at low speed. Really happy with it. 3 deankxf, NZXD and XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deankxf 20,288 Posted April 7, 2015 that is a very tidy interior.. surely theres a market for nicer material on seat covers 1 Nath reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XTREME KARTS XF 1,212 Posted April 7, 2015 Looks like a SAAS bosskit? I had issues with a SAAS one i bought for my XH. Interior looks nice with the new wheel. 1 Nath reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They cost me about 30 bucks so I can't complain. They're a thousand times better than the ancient sheepskin ones that were on there. Those things were brutal... So itchy.

eattsie9 350 Posted April 8, 2015 Looks good nath, What's ppls thoughts on black wheels with brown interior. I'm not a huge fan of the fake woodgrain look but think black on brown would look a bit odd. Anybody got a pic of a black wheel in brown xf interior?
