No.....not exactly. Ruf steering wheels are made by a company called ATIWE. Atiwe also happens to be the same company that makes RAID wheels, hence the similarity.

Ruf sent me an ATIWE steering wheel to "test fit" in the car, and after checking that it fit properly, sent it to one of their subs who they use to custom hand-stitch and cover their wheels. They also had the licensed RUF die to do the leather embossing on the air bag.

Thanks so much for the kind words. You can say it as many times as you like!

The wheel is being shipped to me as we speak. I'm hoping to get it installed in the next few weeks, at which point I'll hopefully post some more pics of the interior, and have a little better idea what's gonna happen as far as press/features.

I'll certainly keep everyone posted!
