Do I have to send you a steering wheel or return my core?
You can but it’s not required– All listings on the site include the cost of the core already. A core return can be refunded only with our prior approval, and not every core qualifies, so please contact us first. You may also send in your existing wheel for us to work on. Wheels can be sent to the following address:
Exclusive Steering (Attn: Leo Y.)
3701 Welsh Rd, Unit E, Willow Grove, PA 19090
833-388-8837
**Please ensure to contact us first before sending anything over
Heating Function
We can retain the heated function for a fee starting at $300-depending on core availability, we may or may not provide a plug to connect to your OEM connection but it should be very simple soldering.
LED Competition Display
Available for most vehicles equipped with OBD II port– you may visit our retail facility to test it out or send us an email to order a sample to test if you do not live close by.
LED Units– by default we will use our own unit with the screen. We do offer another option for a flat-top steering wheel with LEDs only and without a screen. If you have a specific requirement we can fit a third-party LED unit for $200 labor plus the cost of the unit. Our own LED unit is covered by our 3-year warranty; third-party LED units are not covered by our warranty.
Functions– LED lights will light up as RPM changes, the screen would display engine speed, current vehicle speed, engine load, water temp. Unit is connected to your vehicle via Bluetooth through the OBD II port so some level of delay could be expected. LED lights’ color can be changed in our standard unit.
Installation– No extra wiring for data reading is needed, but you do have to use a multimeter to find out the 12V (+) (positive) and ground (-) (negative) to power up the shift light module. They are usually found in the steering wheel multifunction plugs wiring for most European and American vehicles. Japanese vehicles usually will have to run an extra ACC wire from the closest point to the steering wheel clock spring.

Wood Grain – Please email us with a picture if you are looking for a specific finish, we can get 95% close in most cases
Gloss / Satin – all the carbon fiber / painted / wood grain finish can be done in either gloss for a shiny look or matte.
Shape and Thickness
Reshape to your liking – whether it be a cut-off top, flat bottom, flat top, rectangle, triangle, or whatever crazy idea you have, we can make it happen. Just bear in mind we need to keep the core structure so we need to at least keep the horizontal spoke intact and some shapes will be limited by the button layout. But anywhere beyond those areas we can cut, re-weld, and reshape them.
Thickness – some prefer OEM some like it thicker some might want to go even thinner than OEM. Not a problem, we take our time, listen to your request, and will make it happen.
What’s in the package?
By default, only the core part will be included-which means you will be transferring all the buttons and trims from your existing steering wheel unless you have opted for upgrades on trim, in which case we will be providing the finished trim
Turn-around Time
Production takes 5 weeks+ after your design is confirmed (and, if you send in your own wheel, once it arrives). Complex builds and peak season can add time; if your order is affected, we will let you know.
