Flat-bottomed steering wheel
The RS steering wheel looks awesome! I wonder if someone has it on their A6, andwhere to buy one? I have been googling for sometime, but couldn't find it. I will love to replace my stock steering wheel..
If you have it on your A6, be kind enough to share the pics.

RE: Flat-bottomed steering wheel
I also REALLY like the new flat-bottom wheels, when I first saw it on the GTI I couldn't get over it, between that and the DSG paddles, I felt like I was driving a race car, but anyway I wish i could tell you for sure, but that sounds like it would be very expensive. I'm sure you could buy the wheel from Audi, ....for about 500-600 dollars (if not more), but you must first find out if you could get it to fit.

RE: Flat-bottomed steering wheel
A long time ago I tried to rotate a flat tire so the flat portion was at the top instead of the bottom but that didn't work.
I suspect thata flatsteering wheel has the same problem and needs to be replaced.

RE: Flat-bottomed steering wheel
I attempted a home project using some long vice grips and a rubber mallet. I achieved a triangular steering wheel thatworks great while driving straight. I didn't want to be a poser with the rs look on my a6, but I am starting to regret my decision to be unique. On a serious note, I love the look of the rs wheel but have too many other things on my to-do list and toolittle money to add this one at the moment.

Its an interesting idea to replace the steering wheel but I think it'd sink money into other mods first.

RE: Flat-bottomed steering wheel
OK - How about a burger with steak sauce?
We could make it flat on one side or even triangular. If you goto Wendies you can get it square. A salisbury steak is usually oval, but Audi people usually stay away from that because it reminds them of a F O R D. You couldgraduate to a tube steak, ham steak, or steak-in-the-heart as long as your not a vampire.
