We have been looking at making this center piece for the Ferrar 430 for a while now, and we have finally done it after a lot of time and work. The factory carbon wheel with the top and center in carbon cost over $7,000 so we wanted to make a less expensive alternative.

First we had to get our hands on a Factory Ferrari 430 wheel (NOT CHEAP) and start hacking at it.

We then reverse engineered the airbag surround, and had them 3D printed out of plastic (the piece in not structual, and only holds the manettino and start button in place).


We then laminated the new airbag surround in carbon.


We had to make new translucent stickers for the manettino switch because Ferrari doesn't offer these without buying a new wheel and they turned out really nice!

I just thought about this,

Would it be possible to do a wheel for my SLK55, should my current steering wheel be shipped ?

I'd love to have thicker leather, 12 ring in red with red stitching over the wheels no Carbon fiber since my car doesnt have any cf but dark designo wood.
