So I'm going to buy some bits from Japanparts and I'm keen for some DAMD goodness.
Only problem is what stitch colour?
My thoughts are:
Black - Clean.
Red - Goes with the red lights and gauges in the car.
Blue - Different but won't match with anything else.
I'm leaning more towards black or red so please help me out!

I went with black for my car. Choice was made easier by the wait time with red, but I like the black anyway.

I would personally go blue for myself. But voted red in the poll. I think if you're going to change it at least make it a different colour than stock.

They should use white as stitch. Im also looking at a damd wheel down the line. Black stitching I vote

Other option: PROVA charcoal alcantara with red stitching.
I think the real question is round or flat. I'd have both ideally

I'm not much of a fan of the look of alcantra, prefer leather.
I'm definitely going flat

I went for round. Again, flat took too long to order, so I went for round. The round wheel is very nice (I'm sure the flat is too), so either way, you can't go wrong.
Just don't go blue stitching. I have a blue car and even I thought it would look tacky.

too long? did the steering wheel you have not work?

I'd want D shape at least to justify the cost of the wheel in the first place, at least it's a different shape than stock.
I think blue just doesn't work unless you have other blue type highlights in the car. red would be ok, but you know black is always a safe bet.

Haha. Well, I'm not waiting three months for it to arrive when I'm going to have the car for 3 years. It wasn't a deal breaker and I actually like the round wheel anyway. Overall, I just wanted a smaller steering wheel to help my legs fit in the car.

I'll be ordering red imminently.
Would LOVE D-Shape but have decided to go round. Can maintain smoother control when you've got a lot of lock on.

I wanted black for my car, but when one with red stitching came up at a price too good to ignore, I grabbed it. The red doesn't stand out too much, it's surprisingly subtle.
Reds the way I'd go if I bought again (if I find an alcantara one at the right price, for example)...
