    I don't want to do the wet blanket thing, but that looks to be a lot bigger than what I need. Not to rule it out though. What is the spacing on the center legs?

    It's completely resizable... you can make the space between the legs small or large. You will need to reach out to them for exact specs (ie how small or large it can get).

    Just want to show my latest built. DTM BMW M3 steering wheel for RRRE DTM cars.
    It's made of a 4mm carbon plate, self 3d-printed magnetic shifter and a QR to fit on my Moza R9 base. The handles are 3d printed as well and covered completly in overgrip tape. The buttons are those cheap chinese ones (DS-612) with printed knobs. Not 100% happy with the knobs, they all have a small dent on top, think i'll do them again. All is connected to an Arduino Pro Micro coded with the help of Simhub (many thanks for this great piece of software)! Coments welcome!

    Rims looks.good but the grip tape looks awful. Surely there's a better way? Rubberised paint or something?

    Yes, there is something called "plastidip", but that does'nt last long, and to cover the handles in suede (which i normally do) was impossible for me without wrinkles because of the complicated shape of the handles.
    I am ok with that. My old DTM wheel had those tape allready, so i am used to this look. Besides that, while driving the handles are covered by your hands ;).

    Finally got the wheel off my desk. After 15 years or so it was about time.
    Set it up in the corner of my basement office. Started fresh with a dedicated computer
    as well so wires would be easier to manage etc.

    Work in progress. I ended up getting a TK Racing triple monitor stand from Microcenter. Here's a pic before I got a set of Simlab Vario VESA mounts and, learning how to set triples in Raceroom. And yes, that is one of my new favorite GT3's in the sim. At the time I was watching a replay from ACC. :(

    My setup is still in the transition phase. Eventually I'll have a dedicated cockpit sitting at the triples and my desk will have a 34" 2K ultrawide monitor. I need the versatility. So please excuse the mess.

    just finished my latest wheel, Ferrari 488 GT3 steering wheel. 19 buttons, 2 rotary encoder with klick. 4mm carbon front plate based on a thingiverse file (modified). Handles are 3d printed and covered in black goat leather, hub is 3d printed, magnetic shifter with 4 magnets each side. Everything is connected to a "BluePill" board inside the hub.
    I am pretty happy with the result, let me know what you think!

    Looks stunning to be fair. The heat shrink on the cables really gives it that pro look. I wish I had the skills to make such a thing.

    Gabriel, what rig are you using? I like what you did to your seat and pedal tray.
