That steering wheel is bad to the bone!

I used a company from china (go figure) to get exactly what I wanted. These cars (really the CT5) is very popular in china so there are surprisingly a lot of availability for aftermarket stuff from there.

Spec’d it exactly how I wanted, to match the paint. Blue center top stripe and blue stitching.

Did you deal with them directly?

Yeah. Honestly I found it was easiest to DM them on Instagram - quick response. TTDCraft. Tell them @lt4_blackwing sent you for a special price. I get no kick back, just want to help others.

The wheel took about 5 weeks from payment, to build, to shipping from overseas. It seems as though the CT4, CT5, and maybe some other Cadillac models share the steering wheel pattern. Initial quality was pretty damn good for what I paid (only have my carbon wheel from my C7 to base it off). The blackwing is unique with the “V Mode” button and the PTM toggle. So it is NOT a one-for-one swap. It took about an hour of modification to make it all work well together. Mostly removing material bit by bit to make it all fit. I lost the heated wheel in the process, but that’s ok in my mind.

EDIT: I posted the video and step-by-step instructions on this other thread for anyone interested - Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel

Working to cut together my videos that I took in the process, as it was no where near as straight forward as it was in my C7.

I know people don't like this angle of the car but with the right lighting and color I think it still looks great.

Today was finally a nice enough day to get her out. Only have 40 miles on this car and I love it already. I know it’s not a regular parking place but it would be cool if it was

Happy to help and thank you for your business!!! I might have to start stocking a few rolls of those at the dealership.

Glad you were able to make it home safely!

I'm not sure how 'regular' of a spot this is, but it was parked there.

Those might be the nicest factory wheels available right now from any manufacturer. I love them.

That's why I took the pic! The photo doesn't do justice, they're MASSIVE in person and I love them. There I said it. I LOVE THEM.

Took delivery today! Only got to drive it a few miles today but what a car!!! Incredibly excited, and it's already exceeded my expectations in many ways.

My E39 M5 was my favorite car I've owned - I was hoping this would be much the same, but with 20+ years of improvements. That's exactly what it feels like to me. Same beastly engine, same buttery ride, same fancy toys and elegantly aggressive style... but just more, MUCH more, of everything. Couldn't be happier. And was not nearly this enamored with the E63S I drove that I had previously set my sights on.
