What's the diffrence between FR500 steering wheel and stock one?

it's thicker and has perforated leather on the sides. has a really nice feel to it, a lil squishy.

Uh, the FR500 one is black with perforated leather. That's all I got! Plus I think is is maybe a little bit bigger around? It feels a lot softer!! Mine's already packed in my car. I paid $189 for mine & that was a great deal. @ the exact same place that I bought mine, Chip's V6 Specialties, they go for $239.99. Same @ Amer Muscle & $199.99 @ 50resto. If you are thinking about buying one of these, I'd do now rather than waiting.

LOL I thought you beat me to it until he sent me an email saying it was available. Hell I though I was 3rd in line for it. I rolled the dice (5 post and all about the wheel) and sent payment and it showed up.

"The stock leather wheel measures 1.21" thick, while the FR500 measures 1.42". Much softer and you can feel the difference in thickness. Best price I could find new is at gefracing.com for $197.75.

yeah... i was pretty pissed off to be honest, he screwed me over. At first I get an email saying it's still up for grabs so if I wanted it it's mine since i was the first one to contact him about it. So i was like okay sweet just let me know where you want the payment sent. Then next thing i know you paid for it and i was like what the f**k what a ******* cocksucker. oh well at least someone cool on here got it.

I thought you and another guy had for what ever reason backed out (you 2 were in front of me), I assumed the low post count and killer priced scared you guys off. I know it scared me a bit, I even told the guy I was very uneasy about it for those reasons.
Then I saw your post after I sent payment and my first thought was we both payed for it and just got screwed. But I sat and waited and got a tracking number and it showed up. I did feel bad he just flat out sold it from under you. I know I would have been pretty pissed if it happened to me.
