Evo wheel has a flat bottom like the steering wheels in the Audi S/RS/TT models. Normal Lancers the wheel is larger and full circle. Speaking of Audi wheels got idea now :)

At most I thought the Evo wheel felt a bit nicer to hold and the texture felt different to the ES wheel, but I wouldn't go as far to say it's that spectacular. I'd be interested to compare the leather wheels just to see the difference.

In all honesty I prefer my Civic FD's steering wheel.

I just like the bottom spoke of the wheel. makes it look so much more classy over the 90's throwback we have

The evo wheel is smaller than the VRX wheel. Also the VRX was the only one in the lower ranges to get leather.

I think there will be a fair difference in the quality / grade of the leather tho. I've got on my wheel and it feels... Thin.
Look at the above pics, you can see on the VRX/Aspire version bulges at the seams where the four segments join around the circumference - Where the Evo's is smooth all around.

Still, $1500 - $2000 ouch. There's a lot that could be brought for that. Even tho the Evo's wheel does look four fold better.
