The mounting surface on the back of the wheel, where the paddle mechanism mounts and the wires pass through is completely hacked. It should not look like it’s chewed by a mouse and cut with a hot knife. This is why they (era) wrap the entire back of the wheel - to cover the cut surfaces. Frankly, if the paddles mount, it works fine and interesting that they found out a 6 speed wheel has the appropriate metal attachments deep under the foam/rubber. For me the holes they drilled weren’t lined up properly to allow the OEM paddles to sit flush. They never even responded to my PayPal claim and so it was awarded in my favor. Then they lied to me and had me ship it back to Lithuanian for $100 and never paid me for that. Awful people. Told me the same thing - paid more for a DCT wheel.

Now that said, the fit / finish of the wheel absent this is top notch. I think the wheel is worth your asking price so long as the paddles mount correctly. You should mount them and buyer should have confidence so long as it looks aesthetically correct. But unfortunately it’s not a correct dct core.
