Damn, I just placed my order a few weeks ago and was hoping I could get it by mid-August...chances look slim now.

I'm pretty sure there are different variances of the thumbrests, some more pronounced than others, but all of their wheels will have them. I got the M thickness wheel but I asked for the thumbrests to be more of a medium size and not as full as they would normally make them for an M thickness wheel.
Since a few of you guys are close to getting your wheels I will let you know that the plastic cover plate that comes with the euro wheel may need to be swapped out with the one on your Usdm factory wheel. The eurowheel covers don't have cutouts for the cruise control bracket, so you simply need to transfer your oem backing cover to the new wheel, along with the cruise control bracket and other internal parts that may not be on the new wheel. Its easy to do to swap, just remember how each part is installed so you can swap it over properly.

The wait for my wheel is killing me! It's been nearly 2 months since the beginning of the transaction. My wheel just cleared customs in NY yesterday so it should be arriving here in Cali soon.

Well, it took about 2 months from start to finish, but my competition thickness wheel and shift boot finally arrived!
Can't wait to test it out for real at autox and at the track to see how it feels. Aesthetically, I don't think you can ask for anything more.

Yup I absolutely hated the skinny aspect of the oem wheel, just not my preference.

Looks like a DC5 airbag cover- if I'm not mistaken. Nice wheel.
