Countersunk shift knobs
I am going to get a countersunk knob, but I don't know what I want. I understand that there are a few different styles and manufacturers out there, but not too much has been said about them, or at least I can't find it by searching.
Any big difference between the weighted vs. non-weighted versions? What different brands are out there and where to get them. I was only able to find Muz's offerings for the weighted style. There must be more. Any help is appreciated.

twm performance makes a countersunk knob that is pretty heavy at ~440 grams. they have many styles to choose from. there's also the team voodoo countersunk knob that is ball-shaped but it's not weighted at all.

I was trying to think of a negative of installing a 600Gm shift knob.
This is close to 1.5 pounds. Isn't it possible that such a weight would put undo pressure thus accelerated wear on the bushings of the shifter?
Maybe ,maybe not but something to ponder.

I just found the site for TWM. They just introduced a 600 gram version! It's $99, but it looks pretty cool too. I might give it a try.
