Review: Cobywheel

zcoombs4 · Sun, May-20-2012, 02:34:18 PM

Spectacular post, as always! I'm looking forward to getting my wheel wrapped in the very near future as well. I'm glad to see and hear that the workmanship is every bit as awesome as I have heard

Looks good!

I'm happy to see Mike's business is doing well. I've had a Cobywheel alcantara wheel for a little over a year now and it still is in like new condition. I highly recommend his services

Good stuff here! Looks nice!

Just a note: it is "Coby Wheel" not Colby

Nice wheel!
I'm planning to have him rewrap mine when it needs it. I really like how his stitching is larger than my OEM one, it's much more vibrant. Looks great.

Chris the wheel looks great I'm going to eventually do mine I'm lucky that the owner of coby wheel lives in ga so I can just go to his house

Looks awesome!
I just browsed their site and I am going to order some alcantara parts from them (shift boot, knob, and some arm rests).

I had an alcantara wheel in my last c5z and it held up very well, nothing beats the feel of alcantara.

Thanks man. Definitely worth it. I am really happy I got it done. It's a pleasure to get the alcantara experience!

Mike was fantastic. Answered all my endless questions and the service was awesome. Couldn't have asked for a better transaction. Great product, great price, great service!

Duurrrr. Not idea why I was typing colby

. I say coby outloud, but that L kept getting in there. Made the changes and submited a title change to the mod's. Thanks for pointing that out!

Thanks! Exactly. The stitching is more more vibrant than I thought. Much larger too to really make the tri stitch stand out even more. With the leather, the stitching was a bit worn/dirty and it was hidden a bit. With this wheel, it really stands out.

Very cool. Shipping was cheap so I didn't mind at all. Thanks for the compliments

Definitely do it! It's the first alcantara steering wheel I really got to feel and I absolutely love it. I had my boots (e-brake/shift) done a while ago in black alcantara so it always bothered me how the steering wheel was mismatched. It's great to finally have it all together.

Awesome! You won't be disappointed!

This wheel is great! One of the beSt interior mods ive done. Ive had mine for over a year and it still looks and feels great!

Great review OP!

SteveOh · Sun, May-20-2012, 07:07:17 PM

Chris the wheel looks fantastic! And that black interior sure is nice!

Definitely influenced me to go forth with ordering a wheel from Mike! So how do you think that orange stripe would go with your old cinnamon interior? Close enough match?
