Steering Wheel Trim (non CF)

Has anyone changed out or modified the trim for the steering wheel (not carbon fiber)? I am not a fan of this aluminum finish/look and thinking about either painting it gloss black or replacing the trim, but I do not want carbon fiber.

I’m looking to do the same, strongly dislike the carbon fiber. Have you found anything yet?

I’ve found this website: https://erawheels.com/products/bmw-g...&_pos=43&_ss=c
But I don’t know if they’re thrustworthy. They do have a lot of parts, but that means jack.

The link i sent you is just one of many and if you do decide to buy from there, could you give me an update regarding the quality and so on?

I was thinking of painting it myself and got all the supplies to do so, but that's exactly the finish I am looking for. However, I can't find much info/feedback on Erawheels and their Facebook page only has 18 followers. Are you familiar with them or know of anyone that purchased and installed any of their products? Also, not sure if I'm just an idiot, but I am having a hard time finding any vendors that sell the black only trim- almost all I see are the CF or painted blue/red trim. You said it's one of many- would you happen to have any other links to other vendors or did you mean one of many Erawheels sells? I was putting this off for a bit until the weather got nicer, but you got me excited about the idea again and now I'm thinking about adding magnetic paddles and re-wrapping as well.

That’s just it. I dont know much about them, I wrote to them on messenger and they replied instantly. Judging by their phone number, they are based in the UK, but I doubt that. Their answers were not really understandable.
What weird, is the amount of products they have up for sale. I dont know, I was too scared to pull the trigger and pay 280€, when I couldn’t find anything on Fb, trustpilot or on here.

Me neither, everywhere I look, it’s just CF and I strongly dislike the look. I got some hope from Erawheels, but they’re not trustworthy. (atleast not yet)

But luckily for you I think I found something, for your steering wheel: https://paddleshifterz.com/product/o...-30-9-503-440/
And this:
https://www.bmwpartspros.com/oem-par...ck-32309503440

Now i’m unsure if it will fit, but surely it will, right? F90 & G30 use the exact same steering wheel. I know the F90 has buttons, but that connected on the panel behind the trim, and it doesn’t intercat with each other. The part number is: 32-30-9-503-440.

You definitely got way further than I did in the search! This would be ideal but it appears the trim is not the same (at least for mine) since I have heated steering as well. Soooo close though.

Yeah, I agree. It looks so beautiful. I want to share a website with you all, which can be beneficial for you if you are also a student like me and need help with your writing needs. They are https://ukwritings.com/ ukwritings, an essay writing service provider. They helped me with my assignments and essay writing work. The thing I liked most about them is that they are so affordable, and they deal with you well and help you with your problem. A must-visit recommendation from a student to another student.
