3K Twill Carbon Fiber
IncludedThe classic carbon fiber weave that defined motorsport aesthetics. Each strand of carbon is woven in a repeating diagonal pattern, creating the iconic checkerboard-like texture recognized worldwide.
Specs
Pros
- + Iconic, instantly recognizable look
- + Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
- + High gloss finish catches light beautifully
- + Time-tested material used in racing
Cons
- − Directional pattern — appearance varies by viewing angle
- − Slightly heavier than forged carbon
Best For
Drivers who want the classic motorsport carbon look with proven performance.
Forged Carbon Fiber
+$99Developed for hypercars and aerospace, forged carbon uses randomly-oriented short carbon strands compressed under extreme pressure. The result is a unique marbled texture — no two pieces are identical.
Specs
Pros
- + One-of-a-kind marbled pattern — every piece is unique
- + Lighter than woven carbon
- + Originally developed for Lamborghini & aerospace
- + More isotropic — equal strength in all directions
Cons
- − Premium pricing
- − Less "traditional" look — not for purists
Best For
Enthusiasts who want an exclusive, ultra-premium material that stands apart from the crowd.
Matte Carbon Fiber
+$50Same structural 3K twill weave as standard carbon fiber, but finished with a satin matte clear coat instead of gloss. The result is a subdued, stealthy look that reduces glare and fingerprints.
Specs
Pros
- + Stealthy, understated aesthetic
- + Reduces glare and reflections while driving
- + Hides fingerprints better than gloss
- + Modern, OEM-inspired look
Cons
- − Scratches more visible than gloss finish
- − Slightly less dramatic visual impact
Best For
Drivers who prefer a clean, modern look without the flashy shine of gloss carbon.
Full Leather Shell
IncludedA complete leather-wrapped shell — no carbon fiber exposed. Premium full-grain leather covers the entire wheel structure for a classic, refined luxury look inspired by grand touring and bespoke coachbuilding.
Specs

- − Can feel slippery in wet conditions
Best For
Drivers who want a fully upholstered, bespoke luxury look without any exposed carbon.
Full Italian Alcantara Shell
+$150Genuine Italian Alcantara wrapped across the entire wheel shell — the most exclusive finish we offer. Soft, grippy, and visually striking. As seen in Ferrari, Bugatti, and F1 cockpits.
Specs
Pros
- + Full Alcantara coverage — zero leather, zero carbon exposed
- + Exceptional grip across the entire wheel
- + Flagship-level material — Ferrari & Bugatti approved
