Custom Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel Thickness Options

Grip thickness options for custom carbon fiber steering wheels. Standard, thick (+5mm), and thin (-3mm) grips. Choose the perfect thickness for your hand size and driving style.

How Thickness Affects Driving

Comfort

Thicker grips fill the hand better for drivers with larger hands, reducing the need to grip tightly. This reduces hand and forearm fatigue during long drives. Thinner grips are more comfortable for drivers with smaller hands who find standard grips too thick to wrap their fingers around comfortably.

Control

Thicker grips provide more surface area for grip, which can improve control during aggressive driving or when wearing driving gloves. Thinner grips provide more direct steering feedback because there is less material between the driver's hands and the steering column.

Track Driving

For track driving, many drivers prefer thick grips (+5mm) because the additional surface area provides more secure grip during high-G cornering and quick steering inputs. The thick grip is particularly popular for BMW M, Porsche GT, and Corvette Z06 track builds.
