I was under the impression that the 12C's steering wheel had design input from Lewis Hamilton. It felt pretty nice to me.
But, to each his own.

Yes he does fabulous work. There have been complaints that the wheel is too thin. Have it installed yet?

Lewis has small hands like me !! It would feel thin if you have big paws , but its a good compromise i think,if the standard wheel was too fat it would make it more difficult for the average hand size to operate the paddlesI was under the impression that the 12C's steering wheel had design input from Lewis Hamilton.

Glad you guys like the wheel!
The leather is black, it just looks dark grey in pictures when compared to the black suede.

Thickness
We added about 4mm to the thickness of the wheel rim. You can see it here in these two pics we took at our local dealer before shipping the wheel to Ben. While holding the wheel, it fealt very comfortable. I had no problem reaching the paddles. We'll see what Ben thinks once its on his car.
Besides the thickness, we did a few other things to the wheel. This is our fourth wheel for Ben's cars and he always likes to get the suede grips. But he went with a leather top and bottom. We also added a leather hub to class it up a little over the foam plastic of the stock wheel. The orange stitching is a perfect match for the rest of his interior. But since Ben's car has the silver interior, he wouldn't let us do a CF top! Although once it arrived, he said to leave the factory CF center on there to see if he liked it.
We'll be launching our wheel program for the 12C here soon. Once we've worked out all the details, we'll have it in our online configurator so you can design your own wheel. Coming soon!
