General

Welcome to Clutch Carbon, where we believe in two things: driving should be exciting, and you deserve to know exactly what you’re buying.

Let’s get something out of the way: most custom steering wheels come from the same trusted factories overseas. Yeah, even the ones from brands claiming “handcrafted in the USA.” We’re not here to sugarcoat anything. We’re here to give you the truth: our wheels are made and shipped to you from overseas, with no nonsense or marketing smoke and mirrors.

We cater to thousands of different cars which span across 35+ makes, 200+ models, and countless generations within each model. If your car isn’t listed, it’s either too rare or too boring (just kidding—but double-check with us because we can likely still build a wheel for your car).

Nope, and unlike all of the other brands out there (yes....even that one you're thinking of), we’re not going to pretend that they are. We work with the same trusted manufacturers overseas who not only know their stuff, but also supply for all of the other steering wheel companies out there. Transparency is kind of our thing!

You absolutely can!

However, you'll quickly find that there are hundreds of suppliers/manufacturers out there to choose from - how will you know which ones are good unless you order something from each one?

With our near-decade of experience in this specific industry, we know the exact suppliers to use for each steering wheel because some factories specialize in specific makes and models so their products are leagues better than others.

We also have bilingual American staff on the ground in China to help with quality control and ensuring that your order is built correctly, and without the language barrier getting in the way.

Everyone's gotta eat right?

What you pay for by ordering from us is the following:

  • Your dream steering wheel, customized exactly to your liking
  • Our industry expertise and decade-long relationship with the best factories to ensure you're not getting the wrong product that won't fit on your car
  • Our on-the-ground bilingual staff in China who are there to be our eyes and ears to ensure your wheel is built properly and without the language barrier getting in the way
  • The insane amount of money you'll save simply because you won't have to waste it buying trash products and realizing that they're trash

We're constantly working with new suppliers everyday to expand our catalog for you! For now, our main focus is steering wheels and its related accessories (e.g., paddle shifters, etc.) but make sure you sign up for our mailing list at the bottom of the page to be the first to know about new products!

Ordering & Payments

Find your car’s make, model, and generation, pick your customizations, and checkout. It’s like ordering a pizza—except wayyyyyyyy cooler!

We accept major credit cards, Apple Pay, and other secure payment options. No bartering or IOUs, please.

You've got a 24-hour grace period to make changes or cancel. After that, your order is locked in and production begins. Since every order is built specifically per the customer's customizations, we do not accept returns at all. Check out our Warranty and Returns page to read more about your options

Depends on how many steering wheels you’re talking about. Shoot us an email, and we’ll see what we can do.

Shipping & Delivery

For 95% of the products offered on our website, turnaround time will be around 5-8 weeks (4-6 weeks for production, and another 1-2 weeks for shipping to you from the factory).

For a small percent of orders, especially if we're building something for you that is not on the website, there will be an extra 1-2 weeks in the beginning for when we buy an OEM wheel that matches yours and send it overseas for the factory to turn into your beautiful new wheel!

Yes! Just keep in mind that shipping times and costs vary. We cover the shipping cost for worldwide shipping, but you are responsible for any customs fees or import duties.

We do offer expedited shipping! Do keep in mind that the build process itself can't be expedited, only the shipping portion after the build is done

We use reliable carriers like DHL, UPS, and USPS, depending on the shipping service that you select upon checkout

If you live in Antarctica or some other far-off land, let’s talk before you order. Otherwise, we've got you covered as long as major shipping carriers service your country!

We will be providing you with regular updates on your order via email during the build process.

Then we’ll send you a tracking number as soon as your order ships. Check it as obsessively as you want!

Installation & Compatibility

Being an e-commerce based steering wheel customization broker (we just made this name up on the spot, how'd we do?), we do not have a physical brick-and-mortar location.

Because of this, we do not offer installation services.

We ALWAYS recommend bringing your new steering wheel to a reputable shop near you for installation. We NEVER recommend DIY-ing it and will not offer live technical support for DIY installations

Trick question.

We ALWAYS recommend bringing your new steering wheel to a reputable shop near you for installation.

We NEVER recommend DIY-ing it and will not offer live technical support for DIY installations

It should not since you will be simply replacing the metal frame that holds your OEM steering wheel components together. All electronics, buttons, wiring, and safety equipment (airbag) will be your OEM parts transferred onto the new steering wheel.

Yes. Our steering wheels are designed to keep all those important features intact.

Product Details

Of course. No fake stuff here—your car deserves better.

Yes, but we're not magicians so there's a limit! We can build heating into almost any steering wheel, but it will only work if your car already has heating in the OEM steering wheel

You’ve got 24 hours to make changes. After that, it’s too late to tweak your masterpiece since it'll be in production already

Alcantara: soft, sporty, and lightweight. Leather: classic, durable, and luxurious. Both are awesome—it’s all about your vibe.

Long story short, we offer a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects, but not for other reasons. If something’s inherently wrong with the product, we’ll fix it.

Take a look at our Warranty and Returns page for more information

Just wipe it down occasionally. For Alcantara, use a soft brush or damp cloth. For carbon fiber, keep it clean with a microfiber.

Customization

We’re open to cool ideas. Leave a note with some reference photos in your order, and we’ll let you know if we can make it happen.

Alcantara grips with contrast stitching and a center stripe are a fan favorite.

100% we can and are happy to! With our years of experience in this niche, we've seen what seems to work and what doesn't for each car's interior! At the end of the day, it's all subjective, but we're happy to help you pick!

Warranty & Returns

All custom products are final sale, but if there’s a real issue, we’ll work with you to make it right.

Contact us with photos of the damage ASAP. We’ll sort it out.

Not for normal wear and tear, but if something unexpected happens, let us know.

Brand Philosophy

Because honesty is refreshing, and the car mod world is full of gimmicks. We’d rather be upfront than pretend we’re something we’re not.

We focus on quality, not marketing slogans. Our trusted manufacturing partners overseas know their craft inside and out. They are the ones behind the wonderful products in our market all this time, so why change what's not broken (besides all the marketing lies)?

Collaboration Opportunities

We’re always open to partnerships. Drop us an email with your pitch.

Yes! Let’s chat about how we can support your club’s builds.
