    I'd imagine you could bore out the center to accommodate for a weight?

    they are pretty light! I have the centers bored out for where the slide on but you could do more and add some weight i'm sure!

          Custom wood shift knobs

          I have been making some custom wooden shift knobs. Here are two that have not been sold yet.
          There are direct snap on fitment for e30/e36. Also have a little steel weight in them for better shift feel. I can make more upon request!



          Mahogany one is $80 shipped in the US




          Cherry one is $70 shipped in the US

              I have that knob (not the particular one in the picture, but the exact same one).

              I would be willing to loan it, to get it recreated, particularly in weighted form.

                                I cut the insert out of an oem shift knob and epoxy it in these. They snap on just like the normal oem ones!
