How much does Snappy charge?

 

[Stay Puft]

Snappy is £140 iirc. So how much do ktec work out as, £90 once deposit is given back?

 

[MarcB]

I would still rather give Snappy £140 as his work simply nothing but the best.

You don't even get your thumb grips with the K-tec ones.

I read that as £190, plus the £100 as a deposit.

 

[Stay Puft]

Ouch.. for a standard steering wheel.

 

[AdDaMan]

Id rather go to Royal than snappy or ktec.

 

[MarcB]

A new wheel from renault is around £334+vat

Does look nice, but I think I prefer the look of the material on snappys and the thumb grips.

Its a different wheel you donut lol.
And you can choose whatever material you like.

I bet ktec just bought a load of snappy wheels and added ktax

K-tax wheels don't come with thumb grips either :down:

Will need a re Map no doubt

Have to admit, I was at K-Tec last weekend, and I asked them if they could show me a couple of their 182 wheels, purely as I wanted to see the finish etc.

I have to say I was impressed! The finish is very good, it was an alcantara one I looked at as that is what I want doing to mine eventually.

I will still be going to Snappy/Royal when I do have mine done, since they are both slightly cheaper than K-Tec and their work is top notch. But I can't fault the quality of the K-Tec ones in all honesty, they were very good!

Unless royals were MASSIVLY cheaper than snappy, then I'd use snappy every time!

Support the CS traders!

 

[imprezaworks]

100%

 

[dangerous dave]

The snappy just looks better...

He's not an official trader is he?

Only reason I am using Royal, is because I have seen a wheel in a specific spec which was done by Royal, and I want the same. I appreciate Snappy could probably make the wheel how I want it no problem, but seeing as Royal have done it before and know the exact spec and materials etc, I will have them do it. Otherwise I'd be going to Snappy. Their prices are virtually exactly the same I believe.

 

[Nick_Leeds]

I got Royal to do mine perfectly happy.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Balls. No it seems he isn't lol

 

[coleman]

I can't but help think I would do the same if I owned KTEC, they obviously seen the snappy thread on here and thought I'll have a bit of that.

 

[Mr R.]

Snappy, my ph1 wheel is amazing.

I wanted it a bit thicker which cost more but I got exactly what I wanted.

 

[BGEarles]

Snappy [emoji5]️

I would say the exact same, Im shocked they are not doing washer blacks yet or something else thats been seen on the forum

 

[tom172cup]

Thread hijack but do any of these guys do the sabelt wheels

Im sure snappy has done one but don't quote me on that

 

[imprezaworks]

I'd be interested In getting my sabelt done

 

[StuOwen86]

price depending would be interested like above having my Sabelt back to its best.

 

[markoc]

Royal have done my Sabelt and I'm really pleased with the work. I've had a Snappy wheel also and his work is top notch also. Royal wheels use a different stitching pattern - it's more like a honeycomb design - and it looks really good.
I had my wheel retrimmed and a gear gaiter made for less than Snappy was charging for just the wheel....but I wouldn't hesitate in using either Royal or Snappy again. It's personal choice at the end of the day.
Here's the wheel that Royal did in dark grey alcantara with red stitching.

 

[imprezaworks]

How much was that

 

[AdDaMan]

And heres when i had my BMW wheel done by Jack at royal..

Have just fitted my new steering wheel..
Thicker wheel, Perforated sides with black nappa and black stitching as well as leather clad 'M' piece below horn.
The quality is astounding!

Those wheels K-Tec have for sale look incredibly similar to what Royal do.

Im awaiting my wheel to be retrimmed by Jack at Royal. His work is flawless going by all my mates that have had them done by him. Never seen a Snappy wheel so can't comment

 

[imprezaworks]

The quality looks amazing tbf. What sort of time scale do these take, a week or so?

 

[-Jamie-]

From Royal?

Depends how busy he is and if your sending your wheel to him or doing it on an exchange basis.

Send him an email, He tends to reply pretty quickly pretty much 24/7

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers. Yeah I would be posting it off.

 

[StuOwen86]

If you find out how much lemme know @imprezaworks
