Regarding the shift knobs, anyone else is having the problem, that while using the knob, it "twists" and unscrews from the position, shifting to being unevenly placed?
I had to correct it from time to time...
 
Replaced my temp knob with a WC Lathe Werks co polymer since I FINALLY got it. Never looked back. (ignore my dirty ass interior)

I told the wife she’s getting me one of these for Christmas. I keep playing with the configurator. My head says copolymer, my heart wants that crazy OEM+ knob that’s too heavy and gets hot… Just look at this beautiful bastard:

I can vouch for this guy's work. I have a copolymer sphere and love it.

If your wife is getting it for ya, might as well go all out and as for the WC Lathewerks one. LOL
 
Not the best pictures - the etching actually does show up a lot better in person and is very legible and sharp! Great knobs. I was able to choose from the heavy weight stainless steel 510g, or aluminum 150g. (My stock knob weighed in at 189g.) We went with lighter one because we wanted more shifter feel. Super happy with this knob. Also picked up a bunch of other ones since the pricing was fantastic.

Hey, I am thinking about getting one but have some doubts struggling me a lot. Their website said the diameter is 55mm and the reserve lock out width is 34mm. Are these true to the size? Maybe 55 mm ball looks pretty big in the car. Also, does 34mm bore width have a gap between the reserve lockout (28mm)? Please share your experience. Thanks!
 
Ordered a new Billetworkz knob on Monday morning and was expecting a fairly long wait, between it being engraved and international delivery. But it arrived Wednesday lunchtime. Awesome.
Brushed titanium short tear drop, shift pattern and GR logo engraving - £156 delivered. It's fantastic quality, weighs in at 241g alone, 260g fitted with it's thread adapter.

Really pleased with it - I wanted to try a slightly weighted knob as I like how the extra mass can make the box feel a little more refined; but previous experience with a Flossy knob on my GT86 taught me that too heavy can ruin the experience. Also, I don't like a huge knob (stop sniggering), the OEM one is a perfect size. So the titanium short teardrop is the ideal choice - it's almost exactly the same size as the OEM knob, but at 260g, it's just slightly heavier than OEM - whereas the others they do are around ~450g, which I feel might be too heavy.

So far, so good - the little bit of extra mass makes it feel a little nicer slotting into gear without adding so much inertia that it's cumbersome to move around the gate. And it looks fantastic, adds a nice bit of bling to the interior, but could still pass for OEM. Only downside so far is that we had our first frosty morning today, and it's ice cold to the touch. But we don't really get big extremes of temperature here in the southern UK, so hopefully it won't be too much of an issue.

Nice one BIlletworkz :)

Your shifter is cold, needs a hoodie šŸ˜‰

Hey
I'm looking for recommendations for a knob.
OEM is "just a little" too small for me, so an step up from "M" to "L" size, and also a little too low - I'd like it to be tad longer, but no more than inch, even less. OEM+ looks as I don't like anything fancy. Weight is fine for me, without trying heavier or lighter I couldn't decide which one I prefer.

Any picks I should consider? Unfortunately I cannot refund this stuff, as most of them are available abroad, with. shipping to Europe (taxes etc.)
