Every wheel is finished to your spec – grip material, stitching colour, centre stripe and paddle finish are all selected when you order.

The shop floor is in Shishan, Nanhai – the composite cluster west of Guangzhou – and the same bench that runs this part also runs our OEM work for tuners and distributors.
OEM and private-label work is welcome: your part number, your logo, your packaging, with an NDA if you need one.
The packaging is built for a journey, not a shelf: foam wrap, corner protection and a double-wall carton, so the part arrives as it left the bench.
Rinse road salt and brake dust off regularly and wipe with a pH-neutral cleaner; a light wax keeps the clear coat glossy and stops dust bonding to the weave.
Because every piece is laid up to order, expect around two weeks in production before dispatch. Tracking is provided, and the 12-month warranty covers manufacturing defects such as de-lamination or a lifting clear coat.
In the box: finished steering wheel, centre cover and a fitting guide.
Transform the driving dynamics of your Kia Forte with this meticulously engineered Semi-Gloss carbon fiber steering wheel. Every contour, stitch, and material has been carefully selected to deliver an elevated tactile experience that enhances both daily commuting and spirited driving. This is not merely a cosmetic upgrade—it represents a fundamental improvement to your primary vehicle interface.
Technical Construction Details
This Kia Forte steering wheel features a structural shell fabricated from multiple layers of 3K 2×2 twill carbon fiber oriented at alternating angles for optimal torsional rigidity. The layup schedule is computer-optimized using finite element analysis to maximize stiffness while minimizing weight.
The Premium Nappa Leather covering is selected for its grain consistency, dye penetration, and resistance to the automotive environment. We apply a specialized UV-blocking topcoat to all leather surfaces to prevent fading.
Key Design Features
- Flat-Bottom D-Shape Profile: Provides additional leg clearance for easier entry and exit while creating a distinctive motorsport aesthetic that transforms your Kia Forte interior.
- Ergonomic Thumb Rests: Sculpted contours at the 10 and 2 o’clock positions encourage optimal hand placement and provide leverage during rapid steering inputs.
- OEM Electronics Compatibility: All factory controls—including cruise control, audio, phone, voice command, and heating elements—transfer directly to the new wheel. No reprogramming, no error codes.
- Airbag Retention: The hub assembly accepts your original airbag module using factory mounting points and connectors. Airbag functionality is fully preserved.
- Balanced Construction: The wheel maintains weight within factory tolerances for proper electronic power steering calibration and natural steering effort.
Simple Bolt-On Upgrade
Transforming your Kia Forte interior takes approximately 45-60 minutes using basic tools. The process involves removing the factory airbag, unbolting the original steering wheel, transferring your electronics and trim to the new carbon fiber unit, and reversing the steps. Every connector is plug-and-play—no splicing, soldering, or coding required.
For first-time installers, we recommend watching our step-by-step video guide and having a second person assist with holding the wheel during bolt removal and installation. Professional installation is always an option.

FAQs
Is this a direct fit for the Kia Forte — Gloss Finish, Direct Fit?

Vacuum-bagged carbon fiber with a UV clear coat over the weave. The standard layup is 3K twill, and forged carbon, 6K and plain weave can all be produced on request.
How long does fitting take?
Nothing needs cutting on a standard car. Budget 45-75 minutes (professional advised), and keep the old hardware to one side while you dry-fit the new part so you can compare it against the original flat-bottom steering wheel.

Production is 10-15 business days, then transit. If you need it faster, message us before ordering and we will tell you honestly whether the date is achievable.
Can I customise the finish, weave or logo?
Weave, finish and edge trim are chosen when you order, and we can add your logo under the clear coat. Tell us what you are matching and we will send samples of the weave if that helps.
