The steering wheel marking is understood on the one hand as an optical eye-catcher and accentuation. But a 12 o'clock steering wheel marking also has useful facets. The steering wheel markings are known from the racing sector and are used to enable the wheels to be centered. When the marker is in the 12 o'clock position, the wheels are also in the middle position. Such a marking can not only be applied as a visual accent in the 12 o'clock area. When tuning, the markings can also be placed elsewhere. The accentuation, also known as stripe marking, is an eye-catcher for car lovers.

The tuning enthusiast will find companies on the Internet that generate such markings and install them in every steering wheel. Tuning workshops on site can also offer such a service. Steering wheel markings can be retrofitted in different ways. For example, it is possible to replace the steering wheel or to try a saddler. Certain companies from the professional tuning sector now also offer the option of inserting the marking into the steering wheel using a specialized adhesive process. The stickers can even be assembled by yourself. The latter method saves time and can be easily made by ordering online.
