Race and Track aftermarket steering wheel options/(not M.perf)

I am hoping to get some pictures of Aftermarket steering wheels installed in any E90x's, M/non M doesn't matter.

No M/Performance pictures please!

I am hoping to see what looks clean/classy without ruining the look of the bmw interior.

Any one that has MOMO/Sparco/etc... "real" aftermarket steering wheels with hub adaptors installed.
Also hoping to get some ideas on how to rewire all the most important buttons.
horn/M/ etc.

I am a fan of deep dish steering wheels, the Momo Drifting is cool but i think the print looks a bit FnF...
but curious to see what looks good in our cars.

i don't think there are many... if any... that let you keep the airbag, hence you'd lose any steering wheel mounted buttons/functions

nardi, vertex, keys are catching my eyes

I've always been a fan of the Nardi deep corn suede wheels.

I don't think it's necessarily about being scared, but a lot of them want to keep airbag and steering wheel control like you're trying to achieve so what better route to take than OEM?

Lemme see if I can Google-Fu some pics.

There are tons of Nardi wheels in older BMWs. I think another issue you're gonna have with the E46 on up is the SMG/DCT buyers who want to retain the paddle shift capability, hence why OEM is a much better route.

Sorry, bro. You may have to be a pioneer here and blaze your own trail.

Here is a KMP wheel we just installed on a M2C. Has all the buttons and paddle shifters for those who are DCT.

I have a sparco already and really want to make it work.

honestly any race shop should be able to relocate buttons, its probably the easiest wiring job on earth, they could even make race car style kill switches for you just for cool factor.
