How We Make Custom Carbon Fibre Steering Wheels at WTS CARBON FIBRE

Looking to upgrade your driving experience with a custom carbon fibre steering wheel? At WTS CARBON FIBRE, we specialize in crafting high-quality, handcrafted steering wheels using forged carbon fibre, Alcantara, and motorsport-inspired designs for vehicles like Holden, Ford, BMW, and more.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we create our signature WTS carbon fibre steering wheels, step-by-step.


✅ Step 1: OEM Steering Wheel Core Prep

We start with a genuine OEM steering wheel core, ensuring perfect fitment and full compatibility with:

  • Factory airbag

  • Multifunction buttons

  • Cruise control modules

The original leather and foam are removed to expose the bare frame, ready for transformation.


✅ Step 2: Reshaping for Performance

Next, we sculpt a new sporty profile with:

  • Flat-bottom design for extra legroom

  • Thicker grips for improved handling

  • Thumb notches for control during aggressive driving

Each wheel is ergonomically reshaped to offer both comfort and a race-inspired aesthetic.


✅ Step 3: Applying Carbon Fibre or Forged Carbon

We use real carbon fibre sheets or forged carbon flake material, depending on your design. This is carefully laid over the reshaped wheel, then:

  • Vacuum-sealed to eliminate air pockets

  • Cured under high temperature for maximum strength and durability

The carbon forms a strong, lightweight shell that gives the wheel its signature high-performance character.


 

✅ Step 4: Clear Coating and Curing

Before any soft materials are added, the carbon section is finished with a UV-resistant clear coat in your choice of:

  • Gloss finish for deep shine

  • Matte finish for stealth aesthetics

Multiple layers are applied and polished to protect the carbon surface and enhance its visual depth.


✅ Step 5: Alcantara or Leather Grip Wrapping

With the carbon section cured and protected, we move on to the side grips:

  • Alcantara for a race-ready, non-slip grip

  • Perforated leather for a premium and durable feel

  • Optional custom stitching in red, blue, yellow, or matching OEM style

All wrapping and stitching is done by hand with extreme attention to detail.



✅ Step 6: Reassembly and Final QC

Your new wheel is reassembled with your OEM buttons, paddles, and airbag modules (if applicable). Every unit goes through strict quality control to ensure:

  • OEM-level fit and finish

  • Smooth stitching and clean seams

  • Zero defects in carbon or clear coat

The final result? A flawless, ready-to-install WTS carbon fibre steering wheel.
