I've been looking for ages for a nice weighted one but all the custom ones cost big $$$ (currently looking on ebay for a RÄzo one which do look nice)
If you encounter terms like "WC-lathe werks" and "flossy" these are small companies in the USA who design/manufacture custom ***** and often in the 100$+ range. Often said these are top notch quality and everyone is happy with them but this is reflected in the price.

I wouldnt go for metal and I wouldnt go for the ones with the grub screws to hold it in place either, this is the one I went for:

I HAD a Momo red leather one, before I went 6-speed.
It never fitted right and was always working loose. In the end I sleeved the interior with mild steel, turned to match the outer diameter of the gear stick and pinned the sleeve in place. Then I drilled and tapped it M6, before shortening three M6 stainless socket headed bolts to fit. It didn't move again until I took it off.

Fit and comfort is spot on, just screws on in place of the old one and stays there... dont notice any temp change, unlike the metal momo one i once had. I would deffo get another

In my old Legacy I had a HKS nylon one (as fitted to the sequential gearboxes, so really I had the same gearknob as all the top drifters, which pleased me no end).
Fitted perfectly,only thing was it was very light, and also smaller than standard, so it felt like your hand went 'over' it rather than gripping it. Like a ping pong ball. But had massive JDM appeal for me so it stayed.
