It's funny, but I agree. I've been having a hard time finding a weighted leather wrapped shift knob that i like and I don't have the patience to weight one myself. The metal ones look great, but I get tired of roasting my hand on metal shifters in the summer.

These may be the answer.

I've found similar knobs made by Momo and Razo and most of them clock in between 100 - 200 grams. At that weight I'd rather stick with the stock knob.

Yeah, i think stock knob is aroud 220g. Id like one around 500 and i have my eye on a couple. Might end up just paying $150 and getting a TWM type-r

They weigh 350g. Come in blue, red, silver and wood grain.

Where did you find the weight? I can't find a single link that lists the weight and I've been looking pretty hard for the last couple of hours.

I assume that is in grams.

I'm going to see if I can track one of these down in person, but I have a feeling this isn't the droid I'm looking for.

Thanks for the link though I appreciate the suggestion!

I emailed them. You are correct.
