Top 5 Customisations for Carbon Fiber Steering Wheels in 2025 | CARBONISE

As the car modification scene continues to grow, drivers in 2025 are not only looking for performance upgrades but also unique interior styling. A custom carbon fiber steering wheel is one of the most popular ways to transform the look and feel of any car.

At CARBONISE, we receive custom requests from drivers around the world every day. Based on this year’s trends, here are the top five customisations for carbon fiber steering wheels in 2025.

1. Forged Carbon Fiber

The most popular and most requested finish of 2025 is forged carbon.

Drivers love it because it has:

  • A unique marble-like pattern

  • A deeper, more aggressive texture

  • Strong visual impact

  • Beautiful reflections under sunlight

It is the perfect choice for anyone who wants a bold and distinctive look.

2. Top Center Stripe

The top center stripe has become a must-have feature for drivers who want a sporty, motorsport-inspired feel.

Popular colors include:

  • Red

  • Yellow

  • Blue

  • White

  • Titanium

  • Custom colors

In 2025, metallic colors and bright yellow stripes are especially trending.

3. Alcantara or Perforated Leather Grip

The grip material is just as important as the carbon finish, because it affects comfort and control.

The two most popular choices are:

  • Alcantara

  • Perforated leather

Many drivers choose a mix like forged carbon with perforated leather grips and a bright yellow stripe for a balanced sporty style.

4. Custom Stitching Color

Changing the stitching color is a small detail that makes a big difference.

Top stitching colors in 2025 include:

  • Yellow stitching

  • Red stitching

  • Blue stitching

  • White stitching

Drivers often choose matching colors for the stitching, stripe, and bottom logo plate for a clean, unified look.

5. Custom Buttons, Airbag Covers and Logo Plates

Interior personalisation is a major trend this year, and more drivers are customising smaller details on their steering wheels.

Popular custom extras include:

  • Leather airbag covers

  • Alcantara airbag covers

  • Custom AMG, M or branded logo plates

  • Upgraded multifunction buttons

Some drivers even add initials, small icons or unique designs to create a one-of-a-kind steering wheel.
