Looking for recommendations, or places to avoid.
PM me anything that might cause probs.

Found one that would change my round wheel into a flat bottomed one, and make it thicker too. It eas on YouTube.

Present wheel is off a WR1, fitted to a 98 classic.

 

Royal steering wheels did one on my hatch. Made it flat bottom and half alcantera/perforated leather with red stitch.

 

Royal wheels also re trimmed mine but I didn't go flat bottom.

 

iv just had 3 done at the same time ,they have done around 10 for me now , the place is called edge automotive interiors ,, bloody excellent job every time

tried royal steering wheels and won't be giving them my work ever again

 

 

I used edge automotive also. Really nice guy couldn’t of been more helpful.
I tried royal but they didn’t bother replying to me email.

 

Just got these back from edge automotive interiors

 

looking great buddy, are they able to add shape/flat bottom etc? i would like the wheel doing on my jag xfr, its such a boring wheel,it has no shaped grips to it or anything.
cheers

 

not sure mate ,, I would like to say most likely as they are a big company that does lots of very high end cars but iv not asked the question myself so you will have to contact them and ask the question

feel free to name drop me lol (Steve davies)

What sort of cost were the gear *****?

 

Thanks buddy, out of curiosity what is wrong with royal steering wheels? I thought they were the go-to people for this kind of thing

 

So did I.
But hence this thread.

 

they dont reply to any contact for a start but they also did my mates wheel on his GTR and if you twist it it moves around so wasn't glued on ,,, wasn't a very good job at all

 

Been looking into this myself and found various threads about Royals, they seem to be crazy busy all the time, a bit like they cannot keep up with the demand. Just my 2p worth.

 

thats fine if they are but not replying to emails to tell customers they are busy is just rude in my view ,, takes 2 mins to copy and paste the same reply to anyone you couldn't do work for ,,, not like its one or two wheels they would be doing for me as iv had loads done so its there loss not mine

 

I also had bad experience with Royal , bad customer service and even worse job ,although Smithys wheel looks 100% better than mine , I must have had the tea boy do mine .

 

Lol...Honestly mate I've not had any issues with mine,I had it done a couple of years ago and its still like brand new the only criticism I had was it took them a bit longer to do than I expected.

 

Here are some pics the stripe is at 11.58 and not 12.00, the stiching is inconsistent, they wouldnt answer my calls after sending my steering wheel somewhere else, honestly i thought they closed up shop, i even started a thread on here about it

Not good mate!

 

looks like a 3 year old done that, not good at all

 

Lol my mate asked me if i did myself 🤣

 

thats the trouble isnt it ,, when a company is overwhelmed with orders (prob due to the Facebook promotors lol) then they either rush to get them done or employ people who dont have the same attention to detail as the current people so the work suffers

had about 10+ steering wheels done at edge automotive and all mine have been good and I know prob another 20 people who have used them off my recommendation and they have all been over the moon with them aswell so it sometimes pays to find your own company rather than following the crowd lol

 

Well last week my son sent an email to both of the above mentioned company's regarding re trimming his R32 steering wheel and neither company replied.
They must have so much work on they don't want anymore!

 

I know of many people that don't start back at work until tomorrow as they have 2 weeks off for the holidays, maybe they aren't open again yet?

 

they will both be trying to catch up after having time off

I normally get a reply from edge within a week or so

 

I had my fsti wheel re trimmed by Royal in alcantera the first time they got it completely wrong and did it in perferated leather then made me wait while they sorted it out. The communication or lack of it was bloody awful . Though to be fair the end result was great , but if my experience was anything to go by be prepared to wait and be prepared to be ignored.

 

Don't mind me lurking; I've got a well worn second hand steering wheel on my R32 which I purchased to get the multifunction buttons. Sadly the buttons won't transfer to my original wheel, so looks like I'm going to need the wheel re-trimmed.

So very interested in how all you guys get on.

 

His is a mk4 R32 wheel so doesnt have any buttons.
Its getting posted to Royal wheels in the morning as they are the only company that replied and they did a good job of the wheel on my car so fingers crossed they do a good job on his one!
will put some pics up when it's back.

 

Well there on the clock now 😏
Hope yours and yours come back better than mine.,🤣

 

Lol...yeah so do I mate🤞
