Designing a Custom Steering Wheel

Has anyone heard of a company called CON2R?

They just unveiled a free online app that lets you design your very own custom steering wheel. And with all the choices they offer, there's about 250,000 different design possibilities.

I'm intrigued, but don't have much experience with the company. I'm wondering if anyone here has used them, and if so, how's the quality of their products?

They are okay but I'm not a huge fan. I've seen them at a few trade shows and checked them out. They are primarily manufactured out of plastic; resulting in a decent look but cheap feel. But really depends on the application. Their website states: "Whether your concept for a ride is a rat rod or a riddler contender, a classic restoration or contemporary custom - or better yet, doesn't fit a classification - we hope we can help you turn it into a reality". I'd be very surprised if a Riddler contender would use one of these wheels. Could be a good fit when a solid billet aluminum wheel is out of the budget.
