Compatibility and installation

01Will the steering wheel be compatible with my car?

Yes. Every steering wheel is designed to match your exact model.

Before production, we manually check your configuration to ensure full compatibility with your vehicle.

Read our guide to checking steering wheel compatibility.

02Which car makes do you build steering wheels for?

All makes. Your steering wheel is built on an original base that matches your vehicle.

The website currently features online configurators for ten makes: Audi and the RS range, BMW and BMW M, Mercedes-AMG, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Volkswagen, Seat and Cupra, Renault and Alpine.

Cannot find your model yet? Send us the make, model and year on WhatsApp. We will assess feasibility and send you a proposal.

03Can a steering wheel from another generation be compatible?

In many cases, yes.

Retrofit compatibility depends on the model and its technical components.

We check every configuration carefully to provide a reliable solution tailored to your vehicle.

If you are unsure, contact us on WhatsApp at any time.

07Will the steering wheel retain the original functions?

All original functions are retained. Your steering wheel controls for audio, phone and cruise control remain operational. You can either transfer your original buttons to the new steering wheel or choose new OEM buttons supplied with your order. The choice is yours.

08What happens to my airbag?

You retain your original airbag. This is the standard setup, and the complete module transfers to the new steering wheel.

Through the configurator, we offer the decorative airbag cover only, never the mechanism. This is the only option available for legal and safety reasons. Fitting the cover takes only a few minutes and requires no specialist tools.

For a retrofit, if the vehicle was not originally equipped with a steering-wheel airbag, the compatible airbag must be ordered directly from the manufacturer.

Read our guide to airbags when replacing a steering wheel.

09Is installation straightforward?

Yes. In most cases, the steering wheel is designed for direct installation while preserving the vehicle's original structure.

Depending on the model, some original components may need to be transferred to the new steering wheel, such as the complete airbag module or certain controls.

These operations are straightforward and preserve the vehicle's original structure.

After ordering, you receive a step-by-step installation guide tailored to your steering wheel.

We also offer installation in Belgium and can guide you remotely at every step.

10Do you offer steering wheel installation?

Yes, in Belgium, as a €150 option. No shipping fee is charged, as the steering wheel is handed to you directly during installation.

Everywhere else, your order includes a step-by-step installation guide tailored to your steering wheel, and our team remains available remotely at every stage.

Configuration and ordering

11What can I customise on my steering wheel?

You can customise the materials, rim shape, stitching, inserts, steering wheel structure, 12 o'clock marker, additional buttons and many other details, depending on the model. A decorative airbag cover is also available as an option.

Every choice is made in the configurator, with a photorealistic preview and a price that updates as you build.

Have an idea that is not listed in the configurator, such as embroidery, a design or another special request? We can make it. Describe it in the dedicated field in the configurator or contact us directly.

12How does an order work, step by step?
  1. Configure your steering wheel with a live preview and price
  2. We manually check compatibility with your vehicle before production begins
  3. Your steering wheel is made to order on a new OEM base, while you keep your original wheel and continue driving
  4. We carry out the final inspection
  5. Your insured order is dispatched using Standard or Priority delivery, depending on your choice
13How much does an Apex Studio steering wheel cost?

Base prices start at €529 and go up to €599, depending on the vehicle model.

The final price then depends on your configuration: materials, stitching, inserts, 12 o'clock marker and airbag cover. A highly detailed carbon configuration can reach €1,500.

The configurator displays the live price as you build your steering wheel.

Read our guide to custom steering wheel prices.

14Can I see the result before ordering?

Yes. The configurator displays a photorealistic preview of your steering wheel, updated with every material, stitching and finish selection.

You can see exactly what you are ordering before confirming.

Production and delivery

04How long will it take to receive my steering wheel?

Two lead times apply: production, followed by delivery.

Production, depending on the material:

  • Leather or Alcantara: approximately 4 weeks
  • Carbon or forged carbon: 4 to 6 weeks

Once your steering wheel is complete, it is packed and dispatched within 48 business hours. You will receive a confirmation email with your tracking number.

Delivery, depending on the selected service:

  • Standard, free in Belgium and the European Union: 3 to 5 business days
  • Priority: 1 to 2 business days, with your order moved ahead of pending Standard orders in the production queue

Ad valorem insurance is included with both services.

05Do I need to send in my original steering wheel?

You keep your original steering wheel.

We build your steering wheel on a new OEM base, so you can continue using your vehicle throughout production.

06Can I continue driving during production?

Yes, without interruption. Your vehicle remains available throughout production.

Because the steering wheel is built on a new base rather than your own, you keep your original steering wheel until delivery. You can also retain it and reinstall it if you later sell the car.

17Where do you deliver, and how much does it cost?

Free Standard delivery is available in Belgium, throughout the European Union, and to Monaco, Corsica, Andorra, San Marino and Vatican City. Delivery takes 3 to 5 business days.

Priority delivery costs €35 to the same destinations. It includes DHL Express delivery in 1 to 2 business days and priority in the production queue.

Insured delivery is also available outside the European Union, with costs varying by destination.

The exact delivery charge is displayed at checkout.

18Do you deliver outside the European Union?

Yes. Switzerland and Liechtenstein, the United Kingdom, Morocco, the United States and Canada are served by DHL Express.

Costs depend on the destination and are displayed at checkout. Standard and Priority services remain available, and ad valorem insurance is included for every destination.

Quoted delivery times exclude customs clearance, which is handled by the relevant authorities.

19Is my steering wheel insured during transit?

Yes, every shipment is covered at no extra cost. Each order includes ad valorem insurance for the steering wheel's full value, covering loss, theft and damage in transit.

With Priority delivery, if an insured incident occurs, a new steering wheel enters production immediately while the carrier completes its investigation.

Warranty and aftercare

15What warranty does the steering wheel include?

Materials, stitching and mountings are covered by a 3-year warranty from delivery. Electronic components are covered by a 2-year warranty when installation is completed by Apex Studio or a professional garage and supported by an invoice. Electronics warranty coverage applies to standard installations rather than retrofit work carried out on the vehicle.

For a covered issue, we repair or replace the affected part through a straightforward process.

16Does this affect my vehicle manufacturer's warranty?

The work is cosmetic. The supplied buttons are original parts, and the vehicle's mechanical and electronic systems remain unchanged.

If you are unsure about your specific situation, contact us before ordering and we will review it with you.

Read our guide to the legal aspects of replacing a steering wheel.

20Can I change or cancel my order?

Changes: you have approximately 24 hours after ordering to tell us about a change, provided production has not started. Once production begins, the configuration is final.

Cancellation: because your steering wheel is made to your personal specifications, it is exempt from the 14-day right of withdrawal under Article VI.53, 3° of the Belgian Code of Economic Law. Once production begins, the order becomes final and cannot be cancelled or refunded.
