Ramy (FDNewbie) just hooked me up with a flying M wheel
Just got this from Ramy, along with that sweet mazdaspeed shift ****. I'd swear they're both brand new! I cant come up with an aesthetically pleasing way to remount my cruise control buttons though. Anyone have a good or original idea?

Thats what I would like to do, but there's no room inside the wheel to mount the metal bracket that the button housing mounts to. I guess you cut a new slot in the plastic part of the wheel to slide the buttons in, but how did you mount the button housing? I also noticed that the back of the button housing steps out about half an inch. It didn't seem that there was enough room on the inside of the wheel for the button housing to mount flush, even though yours does.

Lol, "new parts shall gather no dust". Actually Ive got a new engine, fuel system, poly mounts and a flywheel gathering dust, but that wheel was way too nice to leave laying around.

I love that. Unfortunately, for me it's more like "All parts shall gather dust..."

Hey Dean, wheel looks great. I also LOVE the boost gauge you got there . You got some really good taste there buddy. Goodluck with the rest of the car.
Now IF only I could get the stuff I want from Ramy I'd be as happy as you are

Yea, these are nice wheels. Lighter too. :-) Anyway I mounted my cruise control in the same location but didn't want to cut in to the wheel. It sticks out a bit but its fine. Here is a direct link to the page on my site about it:

I found you're post while doing a search and read thru it, but couldnt really get a good fix on what you did to mount the button housing. Maybe you could walk me thru what you did ?

OK, heres my take on what you may have done. You made a block, or spacer to make the side of the button housing flat, since it steps out in the rear. then you attached ( but how) the housing to the side of the wheel ( plastic part). Let me know if I'm heading in the right direction.

Oh and Dean, I forgot to tell you, the shift **** doesn't just look new; it IS new
